Hesperiinae
Grass skippers or banded skippers are butterflies of the subfamily Hesperiinae, part of the skipper family, Hesperiidae. The subfamily was established by Pierre André Latreille in 1809. Description and distribution With over 2,000 described species, this is the largest skipper butterfly subfamily and occurs worldwide except in New Zealand. About 50 percent of grass skippers live in the Neotropics. 137 species are native to North America. Around 38 species are native to Australia. Genera ''Ochlodes'' and ''Hesperia'' exist exclusively in the Holarctic. They are usually orange, rust, or brown in colour and have pointed forewings. Many species have dark markings or black stigmas on their forewings. Most members of this subfamily have an oval antenna club with an apiculus on the tip, although '' Carterocephalus'' and '' Piruna'' do not. The antennae generally has a sharp bend. Hesperiinae larvae feed on many different types of grasses and sedges and palms, though some species are ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
