Agonopterix alstroemeriana with the dry weight of the leaf. However, oviposition was not correlated positively with the concentration of alkaloids in the poison hemlock, which varies widely among individual plants. Therefore, it is difficult to predict whether increased alkaloids in the plant would increase or decrease the use of the hemlock moth as a biological control. The effects that the alkaloids in "Conium maculatum" cause on the moth, both physiologically and behaviorally, are relatively unknown. Persons interested in the biological control capabilities of "A. alstroemeriana" see behavioral dependency on the host plant as an asset when using this moth as a biological
Red-backed poison frog Red-backed poison frog The red-backed poison frog ("Ranitomeya reticulata") is a species of frog in the family Dendrobatidae. It is an arboreal insectivorous species, and is the second-most poisonous species in the genus, after "R. variabilis". Like many species of small, poisonous frogs native to South America, it is grouped with the poison dart frogs, and is a moderately toxic species, containing poison capable of causing serious injury to humans, and death in animals such as chickens. "R. reticulata" is native to the Amazon rainforest in Peru and Ecuador. The red-backed poison frog is a moderately toxic dendrobatid, and is
