Diagnostic Description

provided by EOL authors

Hyalophora gloveri is a large moth with a wingspan of about 10 cm. They have reddish-brown and grey forewings marked with a small eyespot, thick white bands, and white discal spots. Hyalophora gloveri possess large, quadripectinate (elaborate, featherlike) antennae on the tops of their heads. They have a large abdomen, striped white and rufous (reddish-brown). The head and thorax are rufous as well, with a white collar on the thorax to divide the two. The rufous color extends across the proximal and median areas of their forewings. There are obvious thick white antemedial and postmedial bands, both bordered by black on the sides within the median area. The moth also has a small, ovaline discal spot located on the median part of its forewing that is cream and orange with a black border; as well as a large crescent shaped one on the hindwing. The subterminal part of their wings is a light, powdery grey, containing a small black and blue eyespot that is located on the apex (top outer corner) of their forewing. A slight blushing of pink and purple is found right above this. The subterminal line is a scalloped, cream-colored edge that looks not unlike aged lace. The wing margins (outer edge) are bordered by a cream-colored line.

Reproduction

provided by EOL authors

Adult Hyalophora gloveri moths emerge in the pre-dawn hours of late May to early June (Roberts, et al. 2014), the males emerging a few days before the females (Tuskes, et al. 1996). The adults have atrophied mouthparts but are able to sustain themselves for 6-7 days on the energy they created as voracious caterpillars. The females release pheromones which the males are able to detect over great distances thanks to sensilla (hair-like sensory structures) on their large antennae. The females are usually found and mated on their first night of emergence and begin laying eggs (ovipositing) on their preferred host plant. They lay the bulk of their eggs on the first night they mate, but will lay more on subsequent nights as well. Females have a large abdomen, containing on average 155 eggs (Miller, 1978); about 103 of which will hatch within two weeks of being laid (Miller, 1978), ready to start the cycle again.

General Description

provided by University of Alberta Museums
In Alberta, this species is similar only to H. cecropia, from which it differs in being primarily a maroon colour, rather than black. H. cecropia also has a bright red band along the outer margin of the transverse white band, which is absent in H. gloveri. cc-by-nc

Life Cycle

provided by University of Alberta Museums
The overwintering cocoons of Glover's Silkmoth can sometimes be found attached to the stems of shrubs and small trees, usually on or near the larval host plant. Adult moths are attracted to light, but are generally not active until midnight or later. These moths are active on nights when ambient air temperature often drops below 5°C, which few other species tolerate.

Trophic Strategy

provided by University of Alberta Museums
Preferred larval hostplants in AB include Silverberry (Elaeagnus commutata), Choke Cherry (Prunus virginiana) and willow (Salix spp.). Host plant choice depends on availability and habitat; in the boreal forest, larvae are found on Choke Cherry (D. Macaulay, pers. comm.). H. columbia columbia of eastern Canada feeds only on larch (Larix laricina), but H. gloveri rarely if ever uses this plant in nature. However, larvae do well on larch in captivity.

Hyalophora gloveri ( Norwegian )

provided by wikipedia NO


Hyalophora gloveri er en sommerfugl som hører til familien påfuglspinnere (Saturniidae).

Utseende

En temmelig stor (vingespenn ca. 100 millimeter) påfuglspinner med store, lange vinger. Forvingene er ikke eller ubetydelig sigdformede. Grunnfargen er gråbrun til rødbrun, den ytre delen er lysere. Hver vinge har en mer eller mindre halvmåneformet, lys flekk og en hvit tverrstripe utenfor denne. Spissen av forvingen har en liten øyeflekk.

Levevis

Larvene lever på ulike slags busker og trær. Disse artene kan utnytte en rekke forskjellige fødeplanter. De voksne sommerfuglene tar ikke næring til seg, men overlever på fett de har lagret fra larvetiden. De store hunnene sitter mest i ro og sender ut feromoner, som de aktive hannene kan merke på lang avstand. Denne arten lever i tørre dalstrøk mellom fjellene.

Utbredelse

Arten er utbredt i det vestlige Nord-Amerika nord til Alberta, sør til det nordlige Mexico.

Systematisk inndeling

Arten blir ofte regnet som en underart av Hyalophora columbia.
