Researchers used GC-MS methodology to analyze the excreta of adult Apopestes spectrum， and then applied the resulting chemical compounds to simulated murals to observe the effect the matter had on the various pigments used to paint the murals. The results show that the chemicals contained in this type of moth’s excreta are primarily alcohols， ketones， and organic acids. Further， it can be observed that the matter excreted by male Apopestes spectrum are more complex in composition than that produced by females of the species， and that when such matter accumulates on the surfaces of murals， dark diffusion circles will be formed. The authors have come to the following conclusions through this research： the excreta of adult Apopestes spectrum easily adheres to the surfaces of cave murals and can quickly permeate and contaminate paintings; the organic elements in the excreted matter are the primary vehicles that cause erosion and degeneration in the mural pigments and cementing in the excreta itself; and that the accumulation and dry shrinkage in the excreta can induce and aggravate flaking on the murals.
