Gynaephora groenlandica, the Arctic woolly bear moth, is an erebid moth native to the High Arctic in the Canadian archipelago, Greenland and Wrangel Island in Russia. It is known for its slow rate of development, as its full caterpillar life cycle may extend up to 7 years, with moulting occurring each spring. This species remains in a larval state for the vast majority of its life. Rare among Lepidoptera, it undergoes an annual period of diapause that lasts for much of the calendar year, as G. groenlandica is subject to some of the longest, most extreme winters on Earth. In this dormant state, it can withstand temperatures as low as −70 °C. The Arctic woolly bear moth also exhibits basking behavior, which aids in temperature regulation and digestion and affects both metabolism and oxygen c

  • Gynaephora groenlandica is een donsvlinder uit de familie van de spinneruilen (Erebidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1874 door Homeyer. Deze donsvlinder komt voor in het noordpoolgebied op Groenland en in Noord-Canada. Hij heeft een geschatte levenscyclus van veertien jaar, wat uitzonderlijk lang is voor een vlinder. Ook kan hij extreme kou (tot temperaturen onder de −60 °C) overleven door een soort antivries in zijn bloed. De soort werd door de BBC Natural History Unit gefilmd op Ellesmere Island in juni 2009 en was te zien in de natuurdocumentaire Frozen Planet. (nl)
