Anthocharis Cardamines
''Anthocharis cardamines'', the orange tip, is a butterfly in the family Pieridae, which contains about 1,100 species. ''A. cardamines'' is mainly found throughout Europe and temperate Asia (Palearctic) The males feature wings with a signature orange pigmentation, which is the origin of ''A. cardamines''' common name. Males and females of this species occupy different habitats: males mostly frequent the edges of forests whereas females frequent meadows. ''A. cardamines'' feeds on most plants found within its habitat but the females selectively oviposit on young inflorescence of crucifers. Mating is usually controlled by females as virgin females found in flight are always pursued by males immediately. Females can signal different meanings to the approaching males by using their abdomen. There is evidence that mated females have an anti-aphrodisiac and that their usage of the abdomen has a closely related function in presenting these pheromones to males. This species has been af ...

Colias Erate
''Colias'' is a genus of butterflies in the family Pieridae. They are often called clouded yellows; the North American name "sulphurs" is elsewhere used for Coliadinae in general. The closest living relative is the genus ''Zerene'', which is sometimes included in ''Colias''. This genus occurs throughout the Holarctic, including the arctic regions. They are also found in South America, Africa, China and India. Their caterpillars feed on certain Fabaceae, for example vetches (''Vicia''). While most are thus beneficial by keeping weeds at bay, some occasionally become nuisance pests on crops like alfalfa. In some species, the wings of males have brilliant ultraviolet reflection, while those of females do not. Adults of both sexes have various colour forms. Most if not all species of this genus, as usual for Coliadinae, do not sequester toxins or other noxious compounds from their food plants. They are therefore a well-loved prey item of insectivores as compared to '' Pieri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Colias Chlorocoma
''Colias chlorocoma '' is a butterfly in the family Pieridae found in Transcaucasia, Turkey and Iran. Taxonomy Originally described as ''Colias chlorocoma'' Christoph, 1888. Röber considered ''C. chlorocoma'' to be an apparently very rare, local form of '' Colias libanotica''- "''C''. ''chlorocoma'' Christ., from Southern Armenia (Kasikoparan), is presumably a local form of ''libanotica'' ; it is large, the ground-colour being greenish in the male, white in the female. Apparently very rare." Treated as a species of ''Colias'' Fabricius, 1807 by Tuzov et al. Grieshuber & Gerardo Lamas consider that ''C. chlorocoma'' is very closely related to and possibly conspecific with '' Colias sagartia'' but androconial spots are rare in ''chlorocoma'' and males have yellow spots in the marginal band. The flight, the biotopes, and the foodplants of the two taxa are identical. ''C. chlorocoma'' is rather variable, in particular the green wing pigmentation differs from population to populati ...

Catopsilia Florella
''Catopsilia florella'', the African migrant, African emigrant, or common vagrant, is a butterfly of the family Pieridae. It is found in Africa (including Madagascar), Arabia (United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Oman) and the Canary Islands. Like ''Catopsilia pomona'', this species also has a habit of migration. Many early authors mentioned the presence of this species in Asia; but those were probably due to confusion arises as ''Catopsilia pyranthe'' females exhibit a lot of seasonal variations. ''Catopsilia florella'' is not included as a species in India in any recent checklists. The wingspan is 54–60 mm for males and 56–66 mm for females. Adults are on wing year-round. From South Africa, adults migrate from summer to autumn. They fly in a north-eastern direction.
