Zygaena filipendulae

The wings of bumet moths (Zygaena filipendulae) contain small amounts of histamine (11) and the cyanogenic glycoside linamarin. Furthermore, the addition of small amounts of histamine to linamarin-containing solutions resulted in the rejection of solutions normally consumed by quail (Coturnix coturnix coturnix). It was suggested that histamine plays a role in defense of the moth from predatory birds (Muhtasib and Evans, 1987). [Pg.517]
