Eupanacra elegantulus Eupanacra elegantulus Eupanacra elegantulus is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known from south-east Asia, including Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia the Philippines. It is similar to "Eupanacra mydon", except for the pattern elements found on the upperside of the forewing which are much clearer. Furthermore, the discal spot is larger in males and more prominent in females since these have a paler ground colour. There are two rows of black dots and a large black spot on the underside of the abdomen. The larvae have been recorded feeding on "Dieffenbachia", "Syngonium" and "Monstera deliciosa". Young larvae are slender,
Plant secondary metabolism in which it seems useful in seed dormancy phase. To get a better understanding of how secondary metabolites play a big role in plant defense mechanisms we can focus on the recognizable defense-related secondary metabolites, cyanogenic glycosides. The compounds of these secondary metabolites (As seen in Figure 1) are found in over 2000 plant species. Its structure allows the release of cyanide, a poison produced by certain bacteria, fungi, and algae that is found in numerous plants. Animals and humans possess the ability to detoxify cyanide from their systems naturally. Therefore, cyanogenic glycosides can be used for positive benefits in
