''Asota speciosa'', the specious tiger, formerly ''Aganais speciosa'', is a moth of the subfamily Aganainae, now regarded as being within the family Noctuidae. Formerly it was regarded variously as a member of the Arctiidae, the Hypsidae, and subsequently the family Aganaidae, which was formerly regarded as a family by some authorities.〔VÁRI, L., KROON, D.M., & KRÜGER, M. 2002. Classification and checklist of the species of Lepidoptera recorded in southern Africa. Simple Solutions, Chatswood Australia〕 The species is found in Sierra Leone, Mozambique, South Africa and Togo. The larvae feed on certain latex-rich plants, mainly ''Ficus'' species, both indigenous and domestic, but also on poisonous ''Acokanthera'' species. They sabotage the latex defences of their host plants by biting partway through the midrib, severing the latex vessels before proceeding to feed on the leaf blade.〔COMPTON, S.G. 1987. Aganais speciosa and Danaus chrysippus (Lepidoptera) sabotage the latex defences of their host plants. Ecological Entomology 12: 115-118〕 ==References==
