Ugly Bug Wallpaper 2008

Order: Lepidotera (moth) These moths begin as eggs, hatch into larvae, pupate and then morph into winged moths. A complete life cycle takes between 4-6 weeks. Adult moths are found between June and September in the southwestern United States. The larvae from these moths are common pests to crops such as corn, cabbage, cotton and wheat to name a few.  One of the 2008 Ugly Bug contestants.
