So much interesting information. Fascinating to read that a moth is beginning to take the place of rats and mice for the in vivo testing of new drugs! I also didn’t know that clothes moths are no longer affected by the smell of camphor.
No, I didn’t know about the drug testing use until I was researching the wax moth for this post (and back in the 1980s I used to work in that industry!). There are quite a few scientific papers about it now.
