Apatura Ilia
''Apatura ilia'', the lesser purple emperor, is a species of butterfly native to most of Europe and east across the Palearctic. It is named for its similarity to the purple emperor butterfly. Description The wingspan is in the female and in the male. The upper side of the wings is dark brown, with metallic blue-violet hues in the male, and it has a clear postdiscal band on the hind wing and several light spots on the fore wing. These clear areas can be presented in two different aspects; they are white on the butterflies of the nominal form ''ilia'', and clear fawn in the form ''clytie''. For both forms, the fore wing also has an orange-coloured ocellus, which makes differentiating the species from ''Apatura iris'' possible. A similar ocellus is present on the hind wing in both species. The reverse side of the fore wing is brown and the back of the hind wing is dull brown with, as in ''A. iris'', an orange ocellus centered in black. File:Kleiner_Schillerfalter_-_Jungraupe_ ...

Hamadryas (butterfly)
Cracker butterflies are a Neotropical group of medium-sized brush-footed butterfly species of the genus ''Hamadryas''. They acquired their common name due to the unusual way that males produce a "cracking" sound as part of their territoriality, territorial displays. The most comprehensive work about their ecology and behavior is that of Julian Monge Najera et al. (1998). The genus was erected by Jacob Hübner in 1806. Description Cracker butterflies are all fairly crypsis, cryptic in their dorsal coloration, commonly covered in varying colored spots, most of which resemble bark; some are known to have little coloration, such as the ''Hamadryas februa''. Distribution and habitat This genus of butterflies are commonly found throughout South America to Arizona, where at least nine species can be found in Costa Rica. (2007).
