Agonopterix alstroemeriana it was discovered near Columbus, Ohio. It was established in Illinois in 1993, after being identified by the rolled leaves of "Conium maculatum," a characteristic indication of the presence of "A. alstroemeriana." The poison hemlock moth can be found wherever its host plant ("Conium maculatum") occurs. Thus, the moth is most commonly seen in open fields and roadsides in suburban and rural locations. In the U.S., "A." "alstroemeriana" often winters under the bark of firewood; then flies away after being warmed up when the wood is brought into the house. Moths also may come inside buildings and housing during the

It produces the potent pumiliotoxin B, but its small size limits the amount of poison it can secrete. Like other poison dart frogs, it does not produce toxin in captivity. It probably gains its poison from consuming toxic insects or other invertebrates in the wild. Frogs of the related genus "Phyllobates" may derive their toxins from local melyrid beetles of genus "Choresine". "Ranitomeya imitator" and related frogs exhibit a degree of parental care, with the female laying feeder eggs for the tadpoles to eat. This
