Cabbage Butterfly Pieris Rapae Adult Adult ILLINOIS RANGE cabbage butterfly Pieris rapae Kingdom: Animalia FEATURES Phylum: Arthropoda The cabbage butterfly has a wingspan of about one Class: Insecta and three-fourths to two and one-fourth inches. Its Order: Lepidoptera wings are white on the upper surface with the tip of the forewing black. One or two black spots are also Family: Pieridae present on the forewing. The underside of the wing ILLINOIS STATUS has yellow or green-gray at the tip of the forewing and on all of the hindwing. The caterpillar is green common, nonnative with a thin yellow line in the middle of the back and a thin yellow line along each side. BEHAVIORS The cabbage butterfly may be found statewide in Illinois. It lives in open, weedy areas where it visits flowers for nectar. It lays its eggs on leaves, buds or stems of the proper food plant species for the larvae, particularly plants of the mustard family. The life cycle includes egg, larva, pupa and adult stages This butterfly is active from April through September. It overwinters in the pupal stage. This species was introduced to North America about 1860 and was first seen in Illinois in 1875. It is native to Europe and North Africa. adult ILLINOIS RANGE adult © Illinois Department of Natural Resources. 2020. Biodiversity of Illinois.

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 .

Durden and Hugh Rose 1978 Texas Memorial Museum/2400 Trinity/Austin, Texas 78705 W. W. Newcomb, Director The Pearce-Sellards Series is an occasional, miscellaneous series of brief reports of museum and museum associated field investigations and other research. Its title seeks to commemorate the first two directors of the Texas Memorial Museum, now both deceased: J. E. Pearce and Dr. E. H.

BUTTERFLIES FROM THE MIDDLE EOCENE: THE EARLIEST OCCURRENCE OF FOSSIL PAPILIONOIDEA (LEPIDOPTERA) 1 Christopher J. Durden 2 and Hugh Rose 3 ABSTRACT Three fossil butterflies recently collected from the Green River Shale of Colorado extend the known range of Rhopalocera eight to ten million years back, to 48 Ma. Praepapilio Colorado n. g., n. sp., and P. gracilis n. sp. are primitive Papilionidae related to the modern Baronia brevicornis Salvin, but they require a new subfamily, Praepapilioninae. Riodinella nympha n. g., n. sp. is a primitive member of the Lycaenidae, related to modern Ancyluris, Riodina, and Rhetus, in the tribe Riodinidi. INTRODUCTION With approximately 194,000 living species, the Lepidoptera is, after the Coleoptera with some 350,000, species, the second most diverse order of organisms. It is underrepresented in the fossil record (Scudder 1875, 1891, 1892; Handlirsch 1925;Mackay 1970;Kuhne 1973; Shields 1976).

Organic Chemistry, Chemical Science and Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology, SE-10044 Stockholm, Sweden, 2014. ABSTRACT Aphrodisiac and anti-aphrodisiac pheromone production and composition in the green- veined white butterfly Pieris napi L. were investigated. Aphrodisiac pheromone biosynthesis had different time constraints in butterflies from the diapausing and directly developing generations. Effects of stable isotope incorporation in adult butterfly pheromone, in the nectar and flower volatiles of host plants from labeled substrates were measured by solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A method to fertilize plants with stable isotopes was developed and found to be an effective method to investigate the transfer of pheromone building blocks from flowering plants to butterflies. The anti-aphrodisiac methyl salicylate was not biosynthesized from phenylalanine in flowers of Alliaria petiolata. Both aphrodisiac and anti-aphrodisiac pheromones in P. napi are produced not only from resources acquired in the larval stage, but also from nutritional resources consumed in the adult stage. Males of P. napi produce the anti-aphrodisiac pheromone from both the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine and from common flower fragrance constituents.

  • 125 Variations in the Markings of Pieris Rapae (Pieridae
    VOLUME 24, i'-'UMBER 2 125 VARIATIONS IN THE MARKINGS OF PIERIS RAPAE (PIERIDAE) INDUCED DUlUNG THE PUPAL STAGE JOHN M. KOLYER 55 Chimney Ridge Drive, Convent, New Jersey, U.S.A. Introduction The present work represents the conclusion of a study which has involved observations on the effects of feeding larvae certain chemicals (Kolyer, 1966) and on the effects of environmental factors (Kolyer, 1969) on the wing markings of the European cabbage butterfly Pieris rapae ( Linnaeus ) . Specific objects were to note variations in markings as a result of (1) reduced-temperature storage of pupae of various ages, as an extension of previous work (Kolyer, 1969), (2) brief, barely sublethal heating of pupae, and (3) exposure of pupae to short-wave ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Incidental observations, e.g. on larval disease and the yellow form of P. rapae, also are included. Experimental Procedures Rearing. Final instal' larvae were reared on an artificial diet at 79 ± 2°F and 45 ± 5% relative humidity under continuous cool white fluores­ cent light. Larval development was completed on cabbage leaves from refrigerated heads (see Kolyer, 1966); rearing room conditions were: 70- 81°F, approx. 20-33% reI. hum., diffuse sunlight (March 6-April 17, 1969, Convent, New Jersey) . Refrigeration of pupae. As in previous work (Kolyer, 1969), pupae were packed carefully along with facial tissues in fiber mailing cans, which were covered with polyethylene bags to exclude moisture and stored in a refrigerator at 32-36°F for 154-156 days (approx. 5 months). Heat treatment of pupae. Two test tubes, one inside the other, were immersed in hot water in a Dewar (vacuum-jacketed) vessel and allowed to equilibrate so that the temperature of the air within the inner tube ap­ proximated the temperature of the bath.

At the end of May and beginning of June 2015 it was recorded for the first time in Serbia. A single isolated colony was found 170 km NW from the northernmost known locality in Europe. This record made us review A. damone distribution in Europe, suggested its possibly wider range over the Balkans and increased the list of butterflies recorded in Serbia to a total of 200 species.

  • Colourful Butterfly Wings: Scale Stacks, Iridescence and Sexual Dichromatism of Pieridae Doekele G
    158 entomologische berichten 67(5) 2007 Colourful butterfly wings: scale stacks, iridescence and sexual dichromatism of Pieridae Doekele G. Stavenga Hein L. Leertouwer KEY WORDS Coliadinae, Pierinae, scattering, pterins Entomologische Berichten 67 (5): 158-164 The colour of butterflies is determined by the optical properties of their wing scales. The main scale structures, ridges and crossribs, scatter incident light. The scales of pierid butterflies have usually numerous pigmented beads, which absorb light at short wavelengths and enhance light scattering at long wavelengths. Males of many species of the pierid subfamily Coliadinae have ultraviolet-iridescent wings, because the scale ridges are structured into a multilayer reflector. The iridescence is combined with a yellow or orange-brown colouration, causing the common name of the subfamily, the yellows or sulfurs. In the subfamily Pierinae, iridescent wing tips are encountered in the males of most species of the Colotis-group and some species of the tribe Anthocharidini. The wing tips contain pigments absorbing short-wavelength light, resulting in yellow, orange or red colours. Iridescent wings are not found among the Pierini. The different wing colours can be understood from combinations of wavelength-dependent scattering, absorption and iridescence, which are characteristic for the species and sex. Introduction often complex and as yet poorly understood optical phenomena The colour of a butterfly wing depends on the interaction of encountered in lycaenids and papilionids. The Pieridae have light with the material of the wing and its spatial structure. But- two main subfamilies: Coliadinae and Pierinae. Within Pierinae, terfly wings consist of a wing substrate, upon which stacks of the tribes Pierini and Anthocharidini are distinguished, together light-scattering scales are arranged.
