One of the largest moths is the Manroot Borer, In the dry lands of the southwest is where you'll find this soarer. This species name comes from what the caterpillar eats, The manroot's roots are this insects favorite treats. The caterpillar bores a hole in the root, And stays there for winter in a silken cocoon. |
