Butterflies are some of the best representatives used to study mimicry, with the monarch butterfly, Danaus plexippus (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) a well-known model. We are the first to empirically investigate a proposed mimic of the monarch butterfly: Neophasia terlooii, the Mexican pine white butterfly (Lepidoptera: Pieridae). We used captive birds to assess the palatability of N. terlooii and its sister species, N.

Much of our current under- standing is based primarily on detailed morphological observations made 50–70 years ago. However, the family and its putative four subfamilies and two tribes, have rarely been subjected to rigorous phylogenetic analysis. Here we present results based on an analysis of molecular characters used to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Pieridae in order to infer higher-level classification above the generic level and patterns of historical biogeography. Our sample contained 90 taxa representing 74 genera and six subgenera, or 89% of all genera recognized in the family. Three complementary approaches were

They are divided into three major groups, namely, the true butterflies, the skippers, and the moth butterflies. These groups are also known by their scientific names of papilionoidae, hesperiidae, and hedyloidae respectively. Butterflies are admired for their beautiful colored wings and erratic flight, and they are represented in decorative designs that are found on a wide variety of items, including greeting cards, household products, stationeries, clothes, and other objects. Many people also incorporate butterfly themes in Deal of the Day! weddings and other special events because butterflies are a symbol of beauty and romance.

  • Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Lesson Plan
    Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Lesson Plan Curriculum: Social Studies, Math, Art Grade: 2-3 Virginia Standards of Learning: HSS.1.11, MAT.2.21, MAT.3.20, ART.3.4 Objectives: Students will: • identify the tiger swallowtail butterfly as the state insect of Virginia • define “symmetry” • use materials and supplies to illustrate knowledge of concepts Time Required: 60 minutes Background Information: (Also printed on the back of the butterfly graphics card.) Characteristics: The Eastern tiger swallowtail is a large (4.5 inch wingspan) swallowtail butterfly. Adult males are yellow, with four black “tiger stripes” on each fore wing. The trailing edges of the fore and hind wings are black which is also has yellow spots. On the hind wing, close to the abdomen, there are small red and blue spots. Adult females can be either yellow or a darker colored one. The yellow female is similar to the male, except that the hind wings have an area of blue between the black and the main yellow area. In the darker female, most of the yellow areas are replaced with a dark gray or a black. A shadow of the “tiger stripes” can still be seen on the dark females. The dark form is more common in the Southern portions of the butterfly’s range, especially in areas also inhabited by the Pipevine Swallowtail, which it seems to mimic. Distribution: The Eastern tiger swallowtail is found in the Eastern United States, as far north as southern Vermont, and as far West as extreme Eastern Colorado. It flies from spring through fall. In the southern portions of its range, it flies most of the year because of the warm temperatures.

    Phelsuma 13; 9-24 Developing strategies for invertebrate conservation: the case for the Seychelles islands JUSTIN GERLACH1, PAT MATYOT2 & MICHAEL J. SAMWAYS3 1 PO Box 207, Victoria, Mahé, SEYCHELLES / University Museum of Zoology Cambridge, Department of Zoology, Downing Street, Cambridge CB2 3EJ, U.K. [[email protected]] 2 c/o SBC, PO Box 321, Victoria, Mahé, SEYCHELLES 3 Department of Entomology and Centre for Agricultural Biodiversity, University of Stellenbosch, Private Bag X1, Matieland, 7602, SOUTH AFRICA Abstract: Approaches to invertebrate conservation in Seychelles are reviewed. These comprise taxonomic research and Red List assessments, monitoring of populations and the status of habitats, monitoring of introduced species and research into their ecology and research into the status of pollinators. Further research is required on the effects of invasive species, identification of key pollinators and the effects of climate change. Red List assessments are given for threatened Mollusca, Orthopteroidea and Lepidoptera. Keywords: invertebrate conservation, invasive species, pollinators, Red List assessments, taxonomy In 2001, a meeting was held in Washington to investigate the practicalities of developing a global strategy for invertebrate conservation. This ‘Invertebrate Scoping Workshop’ proposed 8 main actions needed for the full integration of invertebrates in the planning and conservation assessments of the World Conservation Union (IUCN) (IUCN/SSC/CBSG 2001). To date, these have only been partially implemented due at least in part to a lack of funding. The recommendations are being implemented at a local level in Seychelles and this provides an indication of the relevance of these actions to developing conservation action. Taxonomic Specialist Groups of IUCN’s Species Survival Commission cover only a small proportion of the world’s invertebrates.
