This article make no mention of the food they eat. -- penubag (talk) 00:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
I added the species Utetheisa ornatrix to the notable species list under the Arctiidae family. kzyoung (talk) 01:53, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

This article is biased towards North American species & folklore etc - an account of European and Asian species is needed Barney Bruchstein (talk) 09:37, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Arctiidae caterpillar edit.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on January 13, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-01-13. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! —howcheng {chat} 10:50, 12 January 2012 (UTC)
Articles on moths and butterflies are very light on references to the standard works in the area, notably Richard South, Bernard Skinner, Heath and Maitland Emmet and so on. I've just spent a happy hour or three upgrading the Jersey tiger article from really obvious sources that every lepidopterist worth their salt should have on their shelves. So why are there so few references to them?
Come on, folks! Books such as South, Skinner, Heath & Maitland Emmet etc. have all the foodplants listed, agreed size ranges, and all the distributions as they stood at the time. So why so few references to them here? Let's get editing! --Wally Tharg (talk) 15:01, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

The wide array of photographs used to depict the species as well as they key behaviors solidifies its coverage. In addition, the list of references covers quite reliable sources that boost the article’s credibility. I particularly found the section on defense chemicals (also shared between organisms) to be the most interesting, for they appear to suggest an altruistic behavior that might contribute to kin selection. I also noted additional behaviors that I think may be included to add more content to the article, but these are completely open to debate. 1) Upon reading the article, I noticed a lack of information on butterfly feeding, which I then discovered had also been acknowledged by the Talk Page. This category can be added because it is a fundamental piece of information to understand the butterfly’s interaction with its environment and territory. 2) The article does not elaborate on the moths’ mating strategies. I think that reinforcing it with content on courtship, reproduction, and strategies males use to attract females can provide more information on sexual selection in this species. 3) The article mentions that this species can be social but does not explain this in reference to resource competition. For example, this category specifically could explain how defense chemicals used by this species may have evolved to aid in resource defense.

When a user enters or selects Arctiidae for a the Wikipedia topic, it redirects to Arctiinae. This is good, because the family no longer exists and was changed in rank to the subfamily Arctiinae. However, when a user enters Arctiinae for the topic, they end up on the page for the tribe Arctiini instead of the subfamily. When the user enters Arctiini, they end up at the subtribe Arctiina. This is confusing. I understand why it's this way -- there are explanations (very well written) in the articles. But I think it's a bad idea to assume the user wants a topic other than the one they specified. It definitely had me confused.
I would suggest using the single word names for the appropriate pages instead of guessing which rank the user wants: Arctiinae for subfamily, Arctiini for tribe, and Arctiina for subtribe. I'd be happy to make these changes, including incoming wikilinks, but I hesitate to tear into it without some kind of consensus or approval. Bob Webster (talk) 22:28, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Pages moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) Jerm (talk) 17:27, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
– Currently, Arctiinae redirects to a page about the tribe Arctiini. Arctiini redirects to a page about the subtribe Arctiina. This is very confusing. See the discussion above.
These changes will also be necessary:
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Jammer Moth. Please participate in the redirect discussion if you wish to do so. Plantdrew (talk) 21:56, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
