Synonyms[1]
  • Agriope Ragonot, 1894
  • Euclita Hübner, [1825]
  • Crocalia Ragonot, 1892
  • Oryctocera Ragonot, 1891

This genus is remarkable for the caterpillars, which in some species are able to feed on a wide range of materials that are not usually eaten by Lepidoptera larvae, such as dead insects, manure and straw. The caterpillars of other Aglossa (e.g. A. signicostalis) are myrmecophilous.[2]

Adults of the grease moth (A. cuprina) sometimes eat fats such as suet.
