  • African Butterfly News Can Be Downloaded Here
    LATE SUMMER EDITION: JANUARY / AFRICAN FEBRUARY 2018 - 1 BUTTERFLY THE LEPIDOPTERISTS’ SOCIETY OF AFRICA NEWS LATEST NEWS Welcome to the first newsletter of 2018! I trust you all have returned safely from your December break (assuming you had one!) and are getting into the swing of 2018? With few exceptions, 2017 was a very poor year butterfly-wise, at least in South Africa. The drought continues to have a very negative impact on our hobby, but here’s hoping that 2018 will be better! Braving the Great Karoo and Noorsveld (Mark Williams) In the first week of November 2017 Jeremy Dobson and I headed off south from Egoli, at the crack of dawn, for the ‘Harde Karoo’. (Is there a ‘Soft Karoo’?) We had a very flexible plan for the six-day trip, not even having booked any overnight accommodation. We figured that finding a place to commune with Uncle Morpheus every night would not be a problem because all the kids were at school. As it turned out we did not have to spend a night trying to kip in the Pajero – my snoring would have driven Jeremy nuts ... Friday 3 November The main purpose of the trip was to survey two quadrants for the Karoo BioGaps Project. One of these was on the farm Lushof, 10 km west of Loxton, and the other was Taaiboschkloof, about 50 km south-east of Loxton. The 1 000 km drive, via Kimberley, to Loxton was accompanied by hot and windy weather. The temperature hit 38 degrees and was 33 when the sun hit the horizon at 6 pm.

    ENTOMOFILATELIA: OS INSETOS NA ARTE FILATÉLICA 61 ARTIGO ENTOMOFILATELIA: OS INSETOS NA ARTE FILATÉLICA ENTOMOPHILATELY: INSECTS IN PHILATELIC ART Eraldo Medeiros COSTA NETO1 RESUMO O emprego da imagem de insetos na arte filatélica é analisado através de 80 selos postais depositados no acervo do Laboratório de Etnobiologia da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana. Os selos são provenientes de 12 países e os insetos neles representados distribuem-se em sete ordens taxonômicas. As ordens melhor representadas nas ilustrações filatélicas são Lepidoptera (51 selos), com 10 famílias e 46 espécies identificadas, e Coleoptera (17 selos), com 8 famílias e 16 espécies identificadas. Através da arte entomofilatélica, os correios realizam uma educação ambiental por despertar no público o estudo e o gosto pela entomologia, além de tornar mais aceitável a presença de insetos e demais invertebrados no dia-a-dia dos indivíduos. Palavra-chave: etnoentomologia, filatelia, conservação, selos. ABSTRACT The use of insect design in the art of philately is analyzed from 80 postage stamps that are to be found in the Ethnobiology Laboratory Collection at Feira de Santana State University. These stamps come from 12 countries and insect species represented on them are distributed in seven taxonomic orders. Lepidoptera and Coleoptera are the two must represented orders with philatelic designs. The former contributes with 51 postage stamps, which are classified in 10 families and 46 identified species. The latter shows up with 17 postage stamps, which are classified in 8 families and 16 identified species. Through this entomophilatelic art Post Offices develop an environmental education by arousing in the public a liking for the study of entomology, as well as to make the presence of insects and other invertebrates more acceptable in daily life.

  • Insetti Incontrano Uomini La Collezione Entomologica Di Pietro Castellano
    Insetti incontrano Uomini La collezione entomologica di Pietro Castellano Insetti incontrano Uomini La collezione entomologica di Pietro Castellano Se non erro lei è un entomologo, vero? “Un titolo troppo ambizioso signore. Vorrei poter conoscere un uomo che ne sia degno. Nessuno può in verità dirsi un entomologo, signore. L’argomento è troppo vasto perché l’intelletto umano possa da solo contemplarlo tutto”. Oliver Wendell Holmes “Il poeta a colazione” Le vite degli insetti e quelle degli uomini si incrociano di continuo, praticamente ovunque, e se escludiamo quelli con le farfalle, quasi mai questi incontri suscitano in noi grande entusiasmo. Eppure, se li si osserva, magari con l’aiuto di una lente, si scopre che tutti hanno un particolare fascino legato certamente alla varietà di colori e di forme, ma anche alle strane abitudini di vita e, in alcuni casi, a straordinari esempi di organizzazione sociale, come nel caso delle api e delle formiche. In alcune zone del Sud del mondo, soprattutto ai Tropici, vivono insetti davvero spettacolari, alcuni dei quali sono esposti in questo allestimento. Sono gli abitanti delle foreste che parlano di posti lontani, ma che possono aiutare a vedere anche le specie nostrane meno appariscenti con uno sguardo diverso. Pietro Castellano - uno come noi Pietro Castellano, nasce a Torre Pellice, un piccolo comune piemontese, il 6 luglio del 1923 e si spegne il 15 dicembre 2010 a Torino, a 86 anni, dopo un brevissimo ricovero in ospedale. Pietro cresce con il padre e con la zia, la madre invece era morta durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Il suo percorso di studi si ferma alla quinta elementare ma, sebbene per tutta la vita Pietro faccia il magazziniere, insegue il sapere in tutte le sue forme.

Species richness, and Shannon and Simpson’s diversity indices 14 were calculated to understand the variation of the distributions of butterfly species. Maximum and 15 minimum diversity and richness were observed from Rathnapura and Puththalama districts in Sri 16 Lanka, respectively. Based on the Diamond’s assembly rules and Probabilistic models, it was 17 noted that most of the butterflies were randomly distributed, and there was little predictable co- 18 occurrence between species pairs. To study the distributional patterns of butterfly species with 19 environmental factors, five different types of regression models were fitted by considering the 20 occurrences of each species. The results clearly indicated that the distribution of butterfly species 21 varies from species to species according to the different environmental factors. Further, the 22 occurrence of most of the butterfly species depends on temperature and total rain fall. Prediction 23 of species occurrences with respect to the environmental factors can be done by using the best 24 fitted model of each species. The methodology and results of the study can be adapted to 25 monitor the biodiversity of a certain area. 26 27 Keywords: Species occurrence, Butterfly distribution, Species diversity, Co-occurrence analysis, 28 Environmental factors.
