Mechanitis Menapis Mantineus (Nymphalidae, Danainae, Ithomiini)
''Mechanitis'' is a genus of butterflies in the tribe Ithomiini, commonly known as tigerwings. They were named by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807. They are in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. Members of the genus ''Mechanitis'' were named for the machine-like metallic appearance of the chrysalis in certain species such as the ''Mechanitis polymnia''. The chrysalises have a reflective chitin coating with a metallic appearance. Taxonomy ''Mechanitis'' was described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1807. Members of the genus ''Mechanitis'' in the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. ''Mechanitis'' are in the Ithomiini tribe which includes other Neotropical species of butterflies. The classification of ''Mechanitis'', when based entirely on appearance of wing pattern and color is inaccurate because of the incidence of polymorphic butterflies. When wing patterns are similar the accuracy in identifying butterfly species is improved with the use of ecological a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Larva
A larva (; plural larvae ) is a distinct juvenile form many animals undergo before metamorphosis into adults. Animals with indirect development such as insects, amphibians, or cnidarians typically have a larval phase of their life cycle. The larva's appearance is generally very different from the adult form (''e.g.'' caterpillars and butterflies) including different unique structures and organs that do not occur in the adult form. Their diet may also be considerably different. Larvae are frequently adapted to different environments than adults. For example, some larvae such as tadpoles live almost exclusively in aquatic environments, but can live outside water as adult frogs. By living in a distinct environment, larvae may be given shelter from predators and reduce competition for resources with the adult population. Animals in the larval stage will consume food to fuel their transition into the adult form. In some organisms like polychaetes and barnacles, adults are immobil ...

Nymphalidae Of South America
The Nymphalidae are the largest family of butterflies, with more than 6,000 species distributed throughout most of the world. Belonging to the superfamily Papilionoidea, they are usually medium-sized to large butterflies. Most species have a reduced pair of forelegs and many hold their colourful wings flat when resting. They are also called brush-footed butterflies or four-footed butterflies, because they are known to stand on only four legs while the other two are curled up; in some species, these forelegs have a brush-like set of hairs, which gives this family its other common name. Many species are brightly coloured and include popular species such as the emperors, monarch butterfly, admirals, tortoiseshells, and fritillaries. However, the under wings are, in contrast, often dull and in some species look remarkably like dead leaves, or are much paler, producing a cryptic effect that helps the butterflies blend into their surroundings.
