Common Indian Crow
File:Euploea core at thachangad.jpg ''Euploea core'', the common crow, is a common butterfly found in South Asia to Australia. In India it is also sometimes referred to as the common Indian crow, and in Australia as the Australian crow. It belongs to the crows and tigers subfamily Danainae (tribe Danaini). ''E. core'' is a glossy-black, medium-sized butterfly with rows of white spots on the margins of its wings. ''E. core'' is a slow, steady flier. Due to its unpalatability it is usually observed gliding through the air with a minimum of effort. As caterpillars, this species sequesters toxins from its food plant which are passed on from larva to pupa to the adult. While feeding, it is a very bold butterfly, taking a long time at each bunch of flowers. It can also be found mud-puddling with others of its species and often in mixed groups. The males of this species visit plants like ''Crotalaria'' and ''Heliotropium'' to replenish pheromone stocks which are used to attract a female ...

Kumarakom
Kumarakom is a popular tourism destination located near the city of Kottayam (), in Kerala, India, famous for its backwater tourism. It is set in the backdrop of the Vembanad Lake, the largest lake in the state of Kerala. History Kumarakom was within the jurisdiction of the king of Thekkumkur while that kingdom existed, and it was usual to have fighting and competitions among local kings. Small boats called ''Chundan Vallam'' and '' Kettu Vallam'' were widely used among the local kings for their lightning attacks and fighting in central Travancore. During those days Vembanad Lake was a dangerous area; therefore the king of Thekkumcore kept soldiers in Kumarakom and constructed a fort at the entrance of Kottathodu in Kumarakom. Soldiers were kept in certain areas of Kumarakom for protection against enemy attacks; some of those places still have "pada" (meaning war) in their names, such as Padakkalam and Padanilam. The remains of the fort's wall, six feet broad, can sti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Charles Thomas Bingham
Charles Thomas Bingham (16 April 1848, India – 18 October 1908 West Kensington, London) was an Irish military officer and entomologist. Bingham was born in India of an old Irish family, and he was educated in Ireland.Kirby, W.F , 1909 Obituary correction ''Entomologists monthly magazine'' 45:36 His military career began in India where he was a soldier in the Bombay Staff Corps and later with the Bengal Staff Corps. At first interested in ornithology he took up entomology from 1877 following a posting to Burma where he was also conservator of forests. On his retirement in 1894 he settled with his wife and two sons (his three daughters married in India) in London. Here he worked, unpaid, in the Insect Room of the Natural History Museum, organising and cataloguing the world collection of aculeate Hymenoptera. He took over from William Thomas Blanford the editorship of two of the Hymenoptera volumes of ''The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma'' series and two of th ...

Sex Pheromone
Sex pheromones are pheromones released by an organism to attract an individual of the same species, encourage them to mate with them, or perform some other function closely related with sexual reproduction. Sex pheromones specifically focus on indicating females for breeding, attracting the opposite sex, and conveying information on species, age, sex and genotype. Non-volatile pheromones, or cuticular contact pheromones, are more closely related to social insects as they are usually detected by direct contact with chemoreceptors on the antennae or feet of insects. Insect sex pheromones have found uses in pheromone trap , monitoring and trapping of pest insects. Evolution Sex pheromones have evolved in many species. The many types of pheromones (i.e. alarm, aggregation, defense, sexual attraction) all have a common cause acting as chemical cues to trigger a response. However, sex pheromones are particularly associated with signaling mating behaviors or dominance. The odors release ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Euploea Sylvester
''Euploea sylvester'', the double-branded crow, also known as the two-brand crow in Australia, is a butterfly found in South Asia, Southeast Asia and parts of Australia that belongs to the crows and tigers, that is, the danaid group of the brush-footed butterflies family. Several races of the butterfly are recognized. Race ''pelor'' is found in Australia. Subspecies The subspecies of Euploea sylvester are- *''E. s. sylvester'' - Cape York - Rockhampton, Torres Strait Is. *''E. s. coreta'' (Godart, 1819) - Sri Lanka, S.India *''E. s. hopei'' (Felder & Felder, 1865) - Sikkim - Burma, Assam, Indo-China, Peninsular Malaya *''E. s. swinhoei'' - Taiwan *''E. s. pelor'' Doubleday, 1847 - NW.Australia, Northern Territory Description In shape, colour, and markings, it very closely resembles ''Euploea core''. Males, however, can be distinguished at once by the presence of two brands instead of a single one on the forewing. Of the females Lionel de Nicéville says, females of ''E. cor ...

Euploea Klugii
''Euploea klugii'', the brown king crow or king crow, is a Nymphalid butterfly found in India and Southeast Asia that belongs to the danaid group of the brush-footed butterfly family. The species was first described by Frederic Moore in 1858. DESCRIPTION The male forewing is variable in shape, especially in the outline of the termen and dorsum. It is comparatively long in proportion to its width, owing to the lower convexity of the dorsal margin. It has a termen oblique, slightly convex. In the ' novarae' variety it is broad, the great convexity of the dorsal margin making it almost subquadrate, while the termen is more convex than in the typical form. In the female, the difference is less marked. The typical form on the upper side is a dark brown forewing suffused up to the termen with a blue gloss, a spot at the apex of the cell, a small costal spot, and two short streaks beyond the apex of the cell. In the f two discal spots; in the six subterminal and terminal series of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hypolimnas Bolina-female
''Hypolimnas'' is a genus of tropical brush-footed butterflies commonly known as eggflies or diadems. The genus contains approximately 23 species, most of which are found in Africa, Asia, and Oceania. One species, the Danaid eggfly (''H. misippus''), is noted for its exceptionally wide distribution across five continents; it is the only ''Hypolimnas'' species found in the Americas. Eggflies are known for their marked sexual dimorphism and Batesian mimicry of poisonous milkweed butterflies (Danainae). For example, the Danaid eggfly mimics ''Danaus chrysippus'' while the great eggfly (''H. bolina'') mimics the Australian crow (''Euploea core''). In each case, the eggfly mimics the danainid's markings, thus adopting the latter's distasteful reputation to predators without being poisonous itself.

Hypolimnas Bolina
''Hypolimnas bolina'', the great eggfly, common eggfly, varied eggfly or in New Zealand the blue moon butterfly is a species of nymphalid butterfly found from Madagascar to Asia and Australia. Appearance Race ''bolina'' ''H. bolina'' is a black-bodied butterfly with a wingspan of about . The species has a high degree of sexual dimorphism. The female is mimetic with multiple morphs. Male Males are monomorphic. The dorsal wing surface is jet black but features three prominent spots, two on the forewing and one on the hindwing. To a human observer these appear as white spots fringed with blue-violet. They actually consist of a white center overlain by bright ultraviolet iridescence, a colour generated by nanostructures on the wing scale surface. Numerous smaller white spots fringe the fore- and hindwings. The ventral surface lacks any ultraviolet iridescence and consists essentially of banded white markings set against a brownish background. Female Females are owing to the prese ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
