The tiny blues often seen in the mountains generally only live about How, when and where to find Lepidoptera in 10 days. Some species, however, will the Cascades and Olympics overwinter in the egg, pupa or chrysalid form (in the cocoon prior to becoming winged adults). A few Northwest spe- cies overwinter as adults, and one—the mourning cloak—lives for ten months, and is the longest lived butterfly in North America. The first thing that butterflies do upon emerging from the chrysalis and unfold- ing their wings is to breed. In their search for mates, some butterflies “hilltop,” or stake out spots on high trees or ridgelines to make themselves more prominent. A butterfly’s wing colors serve two distinct purposes. The dorsal, or upperside of the wings, are colorful, and serve to attract mates. The ventral, or underside of the wings generally serves to camouflage the insects. So a butterfly such as the satyr comma has brilliant orange and yellow Western tiger and pale tiger swallowtail butterflies “puddling.” When looking for for spots when seen with wings open, and butterflies along the trail keep an eye on moist areas or meadows with flowers. a bark-like texture to confuse predators when its wings are closed.

  • Pine Butterfly (Neophasia Menapia) Outbreak in the Malheur National Forest, Blue Mountains, Oregon: Examining Patterns of Defoliation
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ariadne T. DeMarco for the degree of Master of Science in Sustainable Forest Management presented on March 21, 2014. Title: Pine Butterfly (Neophasia menapia) Outbreak in the Malheur National Forest, Blue Mountains, Oregon: Examining Patterns of Defoliation Abstract approved: David C. Shaw The pine butterfly (Neophasia menapia C. Felder & R. Felder) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) is a relatively host-specific defoliator of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Dougl. ex Laws). From 2008 to 2012, the Malheur National Forest was subject to an outbreak of pine butterfly in ponderosa pine, peaking at ~100,000 ha of forest visibly defoliated in 2011. Silvicultural- based management guidelines have been used to manage stand resilience to other insect defoliators, but guidelines specific to the pine butterfly are currently lacking. The goal of this study is to examine pine butterfly defoliation patterns to relate stand and tree structure characteristics to inform management guidelines. I randomly sampled 25 stands within ponderosa pine forests delineated as heavily defoliated in 2011 by annual forest health aerial surveys. Within each stand I randomly located three transect plots, 10 x 40m, and measured diameter at breast height (DBH), height, and estimated defoliation for the entirety of all trees > 5cm DBH. Data was analyzed using linear mixed effects models to account for all other determinants of defoliation before measuring variables under study. Defoliation averaged 67% for all trees. Stand density index, stand structure, tree crown class, and level within a tree canopy demonstrated no meaningful effects on mean defoliation. I infer from these results that defoliation levels during pine butterfly outbreaks are not influenced by structural or crown characteristics; virtually all available foliage is consumed in these single host-species stands (though note that ~10% of trees studied showed <50% defoliation levels).

Salicortin, but not HCH-salicortin, also occurred in P. angustifolia and complex backcrosses to angustifolia. Concentrations ranged from 0 to 17.5% dry weight for salicortin and 0 to 5.9% dry weight for HCH-salicortin. HCH- salicortin may possess potent anti-herbivore activity as it contains two of the hydroxycyclo- hexen-on-oyl moieties known to confer such activity to salicortin. Further, this compound may be a useful chemotaxonomic character within the genus Populus, since it appears to occur in section Aigeiros but not in section Tacamahaca. O 2004 Elsevier Ltd.

A few of them are strong migrants, capable of extending their range during the summer months. The discovery of Nymphalis antiopa (Linnaeus, 1758) in Malta is most interesting as it a species associated more with colder climates, and its presence in Malta is best regarded as an accidental human important, more so because the place where it was collected is very near the Free Port [where container ships load and unload containers coming from all parts of the world], Bir¿ebbugia.
