From a peppermint Pericopinae. I recorded this video on-site in northern Costa Rica a few years ago. When I reached down to pick up this moth, it was hard to avoid noticing the behavior. The moth, Chetone angulosa (Erebidae: Pericopina) ((used to be Arctiidae)), has a common defensive mechanism for this group – they . . . → Baca Lebih: Minyak Wangi Rama-Rama

If you scroll down a bit you can see the english translation. At first glance this looks like a standard taxonomy paper with bare-bones species descriptions. You might even think to yourself, “huh, wonder why they are describing species from only one specimen”.

Know this butterfly? It’s OK, no one really does. It is in the genus Apodemia (Riodinidae), but the taxonomy of this group is a disaster… and don’t even get me started on the subspecies. This specimen was photographed in September, meaning it is most likely to be Apodemia mormo (mormo) based . . . → Baca Lebih: Stupid buttefly of the week Kongsi halaman ini!Walaupun agak tidak berminat dengan rama-rama, mereka cantik dipandang. Berikut ialah video yang sangat hebat oleh seorang lelaki yang saya kenali di Southern CA. Video selang masa beliau tentang kitaran hayat lepidoptera cukup mengagumkan, dan yang ini khususnya cantik.
