Galleria mellonella (Greater wax moth, Carbio01_MB) Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Galleria mellonella

Galleria mellonella, the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) or honeycomb moth, is a moth of the family Pyralidae. G. mellonella is found throughout the world. It is one of two species of wax moths, with the other being the lesser wax moth. G. mellonella eggs are laid in the spring, and they have four life stages. Males are able to generate ultrasonic sound pulses, which, along with pheromones, are used in mating. The larvae of G. mellonella are also often used as a model organism in research.
