    Plant Fact Sheet Hairstreak (Strymon melinus) eat the flowers and PANICLEDLEAF developing seedpods. Other insect feeders include many kinds of beetles, and some species of thrips, aphids, moth TICKTREFOIL caterpillars, and stinkbugs. The seeds are eaten by some upland gamebirds (Bobwhite Quail, Wild Turkey) and Desmodium paniculatum (L.) DC. small rodents (White-Footed Mouse, Deer Mouse), while Plant Symbol = DEPA6 the foliage is readily eaten by White-Tailed Deer and other hoofed mammalian herbivores. The Cottontail Contributed by: USDA, NRCS, Norman A. Berg National Rabbit also consumes the foliage. Plant Materials Center, Beltsville, MD Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant’s current status (e.g. threatened or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Description and Adaptation Panicledleaf Ticktrefoil is a native, perennial, wildflower that grows up to 3 feet tall. The genus Desmodium: originates from Greek meaning "long branch or chain," probably from the shape and attachment of the seedpods. The central stem is green with clover-like, oblong, multiple green leaflets proceeding singly up the stem. The showy purple flowers appear in late summer and grow arranged on a stem maturing from the bottom upwards. In early fall, the flowers produce leguminous seed pods approximately ⅛ inch long.

  • Papilio Glaucus, P. Marcellus, P. Philenor, Pieris Rapae, Colias Philo Dice, Antho­ Caris Genutia, Anaea Andria, Euptychia Gemma
    102 REMINGTON: 1952 Central Season Vol.7, nos.3·4 Papilio glaucus, P. marcellus, P. philenor, Pieris rapae, Colias philo dice, Antho­ caris genutia, Anaea andria, Euptychia gemma. One exception to the general scarcity was the large number of Erynnis brizo and E. juvenalis which were seen clustered around damp spots in a dry branch on April 9. MERRITT counted 67 Erynnis and 2 Papilio glaucus around one such spOt and 45 Erynnis around another. Only one specimen of Incisalia henrici was seen this spring. MERRITT was pleased to find Incisalia niphon still present in a small tract of pine although the area was swept by a ground fire in 1951. Vanessa cardui appeared sparingly from June 12 on, the first since 1947. In the late summer the season appeared normal. Eurema lisa, Nathalis iole, Lycaena thoe, and Hylephila phyleus were common. Junonia coenia was more abundant around Louisville than he has ever seen it. A rarity taken in Louisville this fall was Atlides halesus, the first seen since 1948. The latest seasonal record made by Merritt was a specimen of Colias eury­ theme flying south very fast on December 7. EDWARD WELLING sent a record of finding Lagoa crispata on June 27 at Covington.

  • Persius Duskywing
    Natural Heritage Persius Duskywing & Endangered Species Erynnis persius Program State Status: Endangered www.mass.gov/nhesp Federal Status: None Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife DESCRIPTION: The Persius Duskywing (Erynnis persius) is a skipper butterfly with a wingspan of 28 to 35 mm (Schweitzer et al. 2011). The forewing is dark brown, almost black, the hind wing also dark brown but not as dark as the forewing. There are small white apical spots on the forewing and pale submarginal spots on the hind wing. The male has raised, white, hair-like scales on the forewing that render a “soft” appearance. The common Wild Indigo Duskywing (Erynnis baptisiae) is so similar in appearance that the Persius Duskywing cannot be reliably identified in the field or from a photograph. However, comparing the males of each species, the Persius Duskywing typically has more raised, white, hair­ like scales on the forewing than the Wild Indigo Duskywing (but the latter also has a smaller number of Erynnis persius ▪ MA: Plymouth Co. ▪ 19 May 2004 ▪ Photo by M.W. similar scales); many (but not all) Wild Indigo Nelson Duskywings have a brown patch in the distal area of the forewing that is absent on the Persius Duskywing; and Adult Flight Period in Massachusetts many (but not all) Persius Duskywings have white Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec forewing apical spots that are aligned, not offset like the Wild Indigo Duskywing. Female Persius and Wild Indigo Duskywings are even more similar in appearance. The HABITAT: The Persius Duskywing inhabits xeric, open only definitive way to identify the Persius Duskywing is oak woodland, sandplain pitch pine-scrub oak barrens, and to examine the male genitalia under magnification.

  • Rare Native Animals of RI
    RARE NATIVE ANIMALS OF RHODE ISLAND Revised: March, 2006 ABOUT THIS LIST The list is divided by vertebrates and invertebrates and is arranged taxonomically according to the recognized authority cited before each group. Appropriate synonomy is included where names have changed since publication of the cited authority. The Natural Heritage Program's Rare Native Plants of Rhode Island includes an estimate of the number of "extant populations" for each listed plant species, a figure which has been helpful in assessing the health of each species. Because animals are mobile, some exhibiting annual long-distance migrations, it is not possible to derive a population index that can be applied to all animal groups. The status assigned to each species (see definitions below) provides some indication of its range, relative abundance, and vulnerability to decline. More specific and pertinent data is available from the Natural Heritage Program, the Rhode Island Endangered Species Program, and the Rhode Island Natural History Survey. STATUS. The status of each species is designated by letter codes as defined: (FE) Federally Endangered (7 species currently listed) (FT) Federally Threatened (2 species currently listed) (SE) State Endangered Native species in imminent danger of extirpation from Rhode Island. These taxa may meet one or more of the following criteria: 1. Formerly considered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for Federal listing as endangered or threatened. 2. Known from an estimated 1-2 total populations in the state. 3. Apparently globally rare or threatened; estimated at 100 or fewer populations range-wide. Animals listed as State Endangered are protected under the provisions of the Rhode Island State Endangered Species Act, Title 20 of the General Laws of the State of Rhode Island.

Eight species of Dragonflies, fourteen species of Butterflies, and eighteen species of beetles are identified . No threatened or endangered species were found in this survey during twenty-four hours of field observations . The area is undoubtedly home to many more species than those listed in this report. Of note, the endangered Karner Blue butterfly, Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabakov was not seen even though it has been reported from Illinois Beach State Park, Lake County . The larval food plant, Lupinus perennis, for the blue was not observed at Waukegan. The limestone seeps habitat of the endangered Hines Emerald dragonfly, Somatochlora hineana, is not part of the ecology here . One surprise is the. breeding population of Buckeye butterflies, Junonia coenid (Hubner) which may be feeding on Purple Loosestrife . The specimens collected in this study are deposited in the insect collection at the Field Museum .

  • The Butterflies of Mississippi­ Supplement No
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 39(2), 1985, 134-138 THE BUTTERFLIES OF MISSISSIPPI­ SUPPLEMENT NO. 31 BRYANT MATHER2 AND KATHARINE MATHER 213 Mt. Salus Road, Clinton, Mississippi 39056 ABSTRACT. An annotated list of Mississippi butterflies is presented. This updated version is the fifth such list published. Six names additional to the previous lists have been included. Of the five published lists of Mississippi butterflies, this is the first to use the names and arrangement of Miller and Brown (1981) as amend­ ed by them in Hodges (Editor) (1983). It includes six names not in­ cluded in the fourth list (Mather & Mather, 1976). The growth rate has dropped to fewer than one per year as indicated in Table 1 below: TABLE 1. Published lists of Mississippi butterflies, showing rate of increase in the addition of names previously unrecorded from the state. Time Names added List Reference Names interval Names added per year 1 Weed (1894) 53 2 Hutchins (1933) 73 39 20 0.5 3 M. & M. (1958) 122 25 49 1.9 4 M. & M. (1976) 144 18 22 1.2 5 M. & M. (1984) 150 8 6 0.75 In 1958 we expressed the opinion that the list would grow to include about 160 names. We also said, "there may be cases in which the Mississippi representatives of a given species represent more than one population; if so, we do not believe that we as yet have adequate data to support such a conclusion." Now we do. Our reasons for adding the six names are summarized below. 1.
