The mature larva and pupa of each species are illustrated. We also provide a compilation of host records for members of the Brassolinae and briefly address the interaction between these butterflies and their larval food plants, Additional key words: Central America, host records, monocotyledonous plants, larval food plants. The nymphalid subfamily Brassolinae includes METHODS Neotropical species of large body size and crepuscular habits, both as caterpillars and adults (Harrison 1963, Between 25 May and .31 December, 1994 we Casagrande 1979, DeVries 1987, Slygley 1994). Larvae searched for ovipositing female butterflies along generally consume large quantities of plant material to Pipeline Road, Soberania National Park, Panama, mo­ reach maturity, a behavior that may be related as much tivated by a study on Caligo mating behavior (Srygley to the low nutrient content of their larval food plants & Penz 1999).

  • Areca Catechu in PALM BEACH COUNTY
    GROWING Areca catechu IN PALM BEACH COUNTY Submitted by Charlie Beck Areca catechu is a small to medium sized, pinnate palm which is widely cultivated throughout the tropics. The common name is the betel-nut palm. It can be readily found growing in the Tropical Pacific, Asia and Eastern Africa. The origin of this species is uncertain but it is assumed to be from Malaysian rainforest areas. Being monoecious, this palm can produce viable seeds from a single plant. Even though this palm’s footprint is small it can grow to 100’ tall in the tropics. I’ve never seen this palm taller than 30’ in Florida. You might ask “why is this palm so widely cultivated across the tropics?” The answer is that the seeds of this palm are coveted for their intoxicating properties. Betel-nut seeds are chewed with slaked lime and pepper vine leaves. The mild narcotic effect can be addicting. Chewing the seeds is reported to be part of certain Hindu rituals. The negative effect of frequent betel-nut chewing is that it stains gums and saliva red and stains teeth black. A friend of mine from India told me that black teeth and red gums are a common sight in his native country and many other tropical areas. If you remember the stage play South Pacific, there was a character named Bloody Mary. The reason she was named Bloody Mary was because of her red stained gums and saliva due to betel-nut chewing. Areca catechu has three distinct varieties. The common form of this palm has emerald green leaves and crownshaft.
