Have there been any studies into source of predominant yellow and 
orange colourations of North American Ceratocampinae???Regalis, 
imperialis, rubicunda, Anisota species.  Any evolutionary 
explanations as to why this basic colouration might enhance chances 
of survival?
Anyone aware of studies on source of wing colouration in 
general?
Thanks for your time!
