Comadia redtenbacheri is a moth in the family Cossidae . It is found in North America , where it has been recorded in Mexico and southern Texas .[1]
The moth was first named in 1848 by Austrian entomologist Carl Eduard Hammerschmidt (1800–1874) in honour of his colleague Ludwig Redtenbacher (1814–1876).[2]
The length of the forewings is 12–14 mm for males and 13–16 mm for females. The forewings are brown with a narrow white strip from the wing base to near the apex. The hindwings are grey-brown. Females are generally paler than males.[3] Adults have been recorded on wing from April to May and in September.[4]
The larvae feed on the succulent leaves of the maguey (Agave americana ) and green maguey (Agave salmiana ). Young larvae are pale reddish, becoming carmine in later instars . The moth lays its eggs near the base of the Agave leaves.[3]
In food and drink [ edit ]
In Spanish, the caterpillars are known as chilocuil , chinicuil , tecol , or gusanos rojos and have been traditionally used as food in Mexican cuisine . They are also commonly placed in bottles of mezcal , giving a unique color and flavor to the drink.[5]
