Vampire Moths Suck the Blood of Vertebrates, Including Humans
A vampire moth, Calyptra thalictri, feeding on Dr. Jennifer M. Zaspel’s thumb.
By Kevin Fitzgerald
Vampirism — piercing or cutting animal skin to suck or lap up blood — is known throughout the animal kingdom. Mosquitoes come to mind, plus ticks, mites, vampire bats, and the vampire finch of the Galapagos Islands. But … vampire moths? Yes indeed, there are moths that feed on the blood of vertebrates, including humans. When I tell people about them, they respond by going into mild shock. Like carnivorous plants, nothing so strange should exist in a prosaic universe, they say. But who ever said we live in a prosaic universe?
Kevin Fitzgerald
The vampire moths belong to the genus Calyptra, which contains 17 species. The genus is contained within the subfamily Calpinae of the family Erebidae. The genus is also a member of the Calpini tribe. Eight species have been reported vampirizing mammals, including humans, in the wild, and two, Calyptra fletcheri and C. thalictri, have drawn human blood in laboratory or semi-natural settings such as mesh cages and vials. All of them, including the blood-drinkers, feed normally by piercing fruit to suck the juice. Blood-drinking in these creatures is facultative, not obligate.
Vampire moths are being studied extensively in the laboratory of Dr. Jennifer Zaspel, assistant professor of entomology at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. Her team has captured Calyptra moths in the field in the U.S. and other countries. The lab studies, among other aspects, the molecular systematics and feeding structure of vampire moths. Dr. Zaspel is also director of the Purdue Entomological Research Collection, which contains nearly two million insect specimens.
All Calyptra species are found in the Old World (southeast Asia, eastern Africa, China, Japan, India, and eastern and southern Europe) except Calyptra canadensis, which lives in the U.S. and Canada, and is probably not a vampire. But who knows? Maybe it just hasn’t been caught in the act yet. The life history of C. canadensis was almost unknown until recently, when, in Zaspel’s lab, one of them was videotaped piercing a strawberry.
Vampire moths can pierce the thick hides of animals such as buffalo, tapirs, and elephants. After landing on a favorable spot on the host animal, the moth begins penetrating the skin by applying its proboscis to the skin, then rocking it back and forth to push it in. Having penetrated the skin, the moth then oscillates, or rocks its head back and forth, to drive the proboscis further in. As blood from the host animal wells up, it opens hooks on the sides of the proboscis to anchor it firmly. The proboscis has two parts that alternate between anchoring and drilling through host tissue using an “antiparalell” movement. A bite from a Calyptra moth is red and sore, but is believed to pose no danger to human beings. A vampire moth can suck blood for up to 50 minutes.
In 2006, Dr. Zaspel herself was vampirized on a collection trip abroad.
“My first encounter with a vampire moth was as a graduate student working in Far Eastern Russia,” she said. “We went out collecting in a remote village outside of Ussuriysk and one of the first moths that came to the sheet was Calyptra thalictri. I knew blood-feeding had never been documented in this species, but still, I decided to collect it into a vial and stuck my thumb inside. In less than one minute, it began probing my thumb with its armored tongue, and then it pierced through my skin, and began feeding on my blood.”
Only the male vampire moths suck blood. The females suck fruit juice and feed on nectar, and the larvae feed on leaves. It is hypothesized, though not proven, that males suck blood for the salt, which they then pass on to the females in their sperm as a possible benefit to the offspring. It is also hypothesized that the blood-feeding behavior evolved from piercing fruit in order to feed on juices.
“Male and female Calyptra species are obligate fruit piercers,” said Dr. Zaspel. “They have a proboscis that is modified for piercing fruits and sucking the juice. Thus, the blood-feeding habit has evolved from plant-associated feeding behaviors, as opposed to animal associated feeding behaviors.”

You Won't Believe What David Beckham Got On His Wrist
Victoria and David Beckham are always at the bleeding edge of art, culture, and fashion. So when David got a tattoo that evokes the classic museum-goer’s refrain, “My four-year-old could have done that!” it might come as a surprise that yes, his four-year-old actually did do that.
Mr. Posh Spice showed off his new ink — a stick-figure woman designed by Harper Beckham — on wife Victoria’s Instagram. “Harper is a true little artist x x vb ️,” she wrote.
The tattoo joins David’s neck tattoos — they read “Pretty Lady” and “Harper” in script — in paying tribute to his daughter. If we told you that a guy had multiple daughter tribute tattoos, you would probably be more likely to think ex-con than international sex god, but such is the world we live in.
David took the plunge, but all of us might not be so ready. If you want to put your daughter’s art on your body but don’t know if it’s forever, try Momentary Ink. The Philadelphia-based startup creates temporary tattoos that mimic the look and feel of real ink. Their tats can last between three and 10 days, just about the attention span of a four-year-old.
So, if your child isn’t as talented as Harper, or if your job isn’t as permissive as being a model and designer for H&M, you might think about going that route.

The first of its kind in North Carolina, the workshop is provided for free to those in the tattoo and piercing industry on November 3, 2015. Advance registration is required for this training.
Bloodborne pathogens are infectious microorganisms in human blood that can cause diseases such as hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Bloodborne pathogens remain a public health concern for communities throughout the nation.
The workshop will provide helpful information to artists on how to maintain a safe environment, protect themselves and their customers as well as provide information on the standard and practical ways to be compliant with regulations as a business owner.
“Some of our local tattoo artists have requested more training around bloodborne pathogens. We think that this training will fill a very important educational need in a growing industry in Buncombe County and the surrounding areas. This is a great example of a partnership that keeps our community safe and supports a unique need in our business community” said Lead Communicable Disease Nurse, Sue Ellen Morrison. She adds, “This is a rare opportunity for our tattoo artists and we hope that they choose to attend so that they are up to date on best practices to stay safe.”
The training is a part of the Western North Carolina Safety & Health Conference that is being held at the Doubletree Biltmore in Asheville. For those health and safety professionals wishing to attend the full conference, the cost is $225 per attendee.

Man o man does this rap game weave a tight-knit circle.
Blac Chyna just doubled down on the rumors that her and Future were a trap house couple by getting a tattoo of his name on her hand.
Let’s count off the celebrities affected by the degrees of the separation contained in this new ink.
1. Ciara
2. Russell Wilson
3. Tyga
4. Kylie Jenner
5. J’Leon Love
6. You (possibly)
It doesn’t take a human with a flux capacitor to predict how this will end up but we’re here for it, regardless.
Peep the Blac Chyna Future tattoo down below. Where did F. Hendrix get his, though?
