What does EGGAR mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
Any of a family of heavy-bodied moths, known for their thick, hairy caterpillars and firm, egg-shaped cocoons.
A collector who studies moths recognizes an eggar by its stocky body, feathery antennae, and drab brown or gray coloring, quite different from the bright colors of many butterflies. The name eggar comes from the tough, oval cocoon these moths spin, which looks somewhat like a small egg attached to a twig or leaf. The caterpillar of an eggar is often covered in dense hairs that can irritate the skin if handled carelessly.
