Woodland Types and the Butterflies and Moths They Support Woodland types and the butterflies and moths they support The diverse climate and varied geology of Britain have combined to produce a wide range of woodland types, and all are capable of supporting at least some woodland Lepidoptera of concern. While different botanical woodland Butterflies and moths of Butterflies and moths of types have their own butterfly and moth assemblages, for closed canopy woodland specific woodland types many threatened species it is the Some butterflies and moths will structural aspects of woodland that only be found in specific woodland determine whether their habitat is types, and their needs should be present.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • Eryngium Yuccifolium A. Michaux Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium Synchaetum)
    A. Michaux Eryngium yuccifolium Rattlesnake Master (Eryngium synchaetum) Other Common Names: Button Eryngo, Button Snakeroot. Family: Apiaceae (Umbelliferae). Cold Hardiness: With proper provenances, this species grows in USDA hardiness zones 4 to 9. Foliage: Alternate, simple, yucca-like sword-shapted blue-green foliage clasps stout stems; basal leaves to 30 long, but leaves on flower stalks much shorter; strap-like ½ to 1½ wide, margins toothed on terminal portions becoming spiny at the base; the specific epithet refers to the yucca-like foliage. Flower: Tiny individual fragrant flowers in ¾diameter ball-like clusters in open flattened clusters atop tall flower stalks in late spring to summer; clusters subtended by holly or thistle-leaf like bracts; individual flowers are numerous and tightly packed; greenish white to white flowers have five-petals and two filiform styles. Fruit: Seed heads eventually turn brown and are retained on the plant into winter until stems die back. Stem / Bark: Stems — stout, stiffly erect, somewhat swollen at the nodes; glabrous, green to bluish green; Buds — small; green to blue-green; Bark — not applicable; basal leaves and floral stalks from semi-woody base. Habit: Erect, 3 to 4 (6) tall, sparsely branched herbaceous perennials from a woody base, with the vegetative tissues sort of reminiscent of a cross between an Iris and a Yucca; over time a cluster of foliage forms at the base; the plant's texture is attractively coarse. Cultural Requirements: Sunny sites with moist well drained soils are required; drainage is particularly important as plants are grown in mesic locations, less so in more arid regions; overly fertile soils result in lodging and plants benefit from being surrounded by shorter plants that can lend support to the tall flower stalks; transplant from containers or seed in place as taproots hinder successful transplant; prickly leaves may hinder maintenance activities around the plants.

  • English Holly Ilex Aquifolium L
    English holly Ilex aquifolium L. Synonyms: none Other common names: none Family: Aquifoliaceae Invasiveness Rank: 67 The invasiveness rank is calculated based on a species’ ecological impacts, biological attributes, distribution, and response to control measures. The ranks are scaled from 0 to 100, with 0 representing a plant that poses no threat to native ecosystems and 100 representing a plant that poses a major threat to native ecosystems. Description English holly is a small, evergreen shrub or tree with numerous, short, erect to spreading branches. It commonly grows 2 to 5 m tall, but it can grow up to 17 m tall in its native range. Young twigs are green and develop grey bark with age. Leaves are alternate, petiolated, ovate to oblong, entire or lobed, leathery, and 2.5 to 6 cm long with glossy, dark green upper surfaces and spine-like teeth. Male and female flowers are usually found on separate plants. Flowers are 6 mm in diameter, white, and borne in few-flowered, axillary clusters. Fruits are 7 to 12 mm in diameter, red, smooth, and clustered with 2 to 8 single-seeded nutlets each. Nutlets are convex and ridged (DiTomaso and Healy Fruit and foliage of Ilex aquifolium L. Photo by F. Vincentz. 2007, eFloras 2008, Klinkenberg 2010). Ecological Impact Impact on community composition, structure, and interactions: English holly invades undisturbed forests in the Pacific Northwest (Polster 2004, King County 2010, Klinkenberg 2010), and it has escaped cultivation and become invasive in moist, coastal forests in California (DiTomaso and Healy 2007). This species is considered one of the ten most invasive garden plants for sale in Tasmania.

  • The Armenians
    THE ARMENIANS By C.F. DIXON-JOHNSON “Whosoever does wrong to a Christian or a Jew shall find me his accuser on the day of judgment.” (EL KORAN) Printed and Published by GEO TOULMIN & SONS, LTD. Northgate, Blackburn. 1916 Preface The following pages were first read as a paper before the “Société d’Etudes Ethnographiques.” They have since been amplified and are now being published at the request of a number of friends, who believe that the public should have an opportunity of judging whether or not “the Armenian Question” has another side than that which has been recently so assiduously promulgated throughout the Western World. Though the championship of Greek, Bulgarian and other similar “Christian, civilized methods of fighting,” as contrasted with “Moslem atrocities” in the Balkans and Asia Minor, has been so strenuously undertaken by Lord Bryce and others, the more recent developments in the Near East may perhaps already have opened the eyes of a great many thinking people to the realization that, in sacrificing the traditional friendship of the Turk to all this more or less sectarian clamor, British diplomacy has really done nothing better than to exchange the solid and advantageous reality for a most elusive and unreliable, if not positively dangerous, set of shadows. It seems illogical that the same party which recalled the officials (and among them our present War Minister) appointed by Lord Beaconsfield to assist the Turkish Government in reforming their administration and collecting the revenue in Asia Minor, and which on the advent of the Young Turks refused to lend British Administrators to whom ample and plenary powers were assured, should now, in its eagerness to vilify the Turk, lose sight of their own mistakes which have led in the main to the conditions of which it complains, and should so utterly condemn its own former policy.
