在莫桑比克、津巴布韦、纳米比亚和南非广袤的丛林草原地带,生长着一种枝杈繁茂的莫佩尼矮树。非洲大帝蛾最喜欢在这种树的枝丫上产卵繁殖后代。帝蛾卵初春时节变为蛹,帝蛾蛹贪馋地嚼食树叶,六周内长得又大又肥,长达四英寸,背上布满尖利的毛刺和红、黑、黄、白彩色花斑。 In the vast jungle steppes of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa, a bushy twig of the Moppeni grows. African Great Moth most like to spawn offspring on the branches of this tree. Emperor moth eggs become pupa in early spring, and moths feed greedily to the leaves, growing large and fat within six weeks, up to four inches long, with sharp burrs and red, black, yellow and white colors on their backs Piebald
