The evolutionary trajectory of Megalopyge opercularis is distinguished by a documented ancient horizontal gene transfer (HGT) event. Genomic analysis indicates that millions of years ago, genes encoding aerolysin-like pore-forming toxins were transferred from bacteria to the ancestors of ditrysian Lepidoptera.
