Moved to males "identified successfully".

26.05.2012 21:08, Vasiliy Feoktistov: comment on photo #3419

Well, as I know they actually don't come to any light. These are exceptionally diurnal. I usually meet males on wet forest paths while females prefer to stay close to tree crowns. Talk seems to appear the kind of banter :)

26.05.2012 16:17, Lev Bely: comment on Butterfly House The Panhandle Butterfly House in Florida (USA) invites volunteers

The Butterfly House The Panhandle Butterfly House in Florida, USA, 24 May opened the new season. Butterflies are in abundance, but the guides do not suffice.

Thanks, moved.

Seems (looking at the author's note) that the author of this shot already identified it himself, yet it's not quite clear. So far it's Alexandr Zhakov then.

24.05.2012 21:07, Lev Bely: comment on Maine needs butterfly surveyors

The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is to teach state residents how to identify butterflies. Everyone is welcome to join a special butterfly identification training that starts off this June. Those who will take part are also supposed to contribute to the statewide butterfly survey. There are actually at least 120 butterfly species in Maine, but, as spokesman Doug Rafferty ...

Lepidoptera.pro user Stan Korb just added on the website Eremohadena oxybela shots which actually appear to be the first photos of the species online and there are no but a few collected specimens known as well. See Eremohadena oxybela upperside and the underside.

22.05.2012 16:01, Lev Bely: comment on Butterfly-shaped drone: the newest Israel's indoor surveillance project

Look back: your own home may host not only inobnoxious moths but also an insect drone watching you. Here it goes, latest Israel's indoor surveillance project — a small “butterfly” that weighs just 20 grams, a unique and perfect spy which has no peer in doing its job well and, the core thing, imperceptible. The spy can take color photos, take off vertically and hover in the air as ...

21.05.2012 1:22, Peter Khramov: comment on Comment doubles fixed

Up to now you all could experience such annoying thing as comment doubles in case if you happened to refresh the same page right after you'd commented anything. So you got twin comments. Now it's fixed and you are free to reload pages after you just left a comment on community subjs, species or photos, and your own subject as well. If your browser asks to confirm the duplicate submission, please ...

20.05.2012 15:20, Peter Khramov: comment on Bad redirecting from former URLs now fixed

Some former URLs containing additional hyphens e.g. http://lepidoptera.pro/species/polygonia-c-album for Polygonia c-album species, could be redirected wrongly (from the Polygonia c-album URL mentioned you should've been moved to http://lepidoptera.pro/taxonomy/8617). Now cured.

Ok, Petr, that's worth doing indeed to have it near at hand when identifying.

More than 70 scientists from 9 institutions including The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, sequenced the genome of the Postman butterfly (Heliconius melpomene), a favorite one among collectors and researchers since the very Victorian times. The study results were published in the reputed “Nature” journal. Panama's Heliconius melpomene genome explains the incredible variety of ...

The new series is amazing in full, both objects and backgrounds.

17.05.2012 15:52, Dmitriy Pozhogin: comment on photo #12666

Alexandr! I unluckily have no Papilio polytes ledebouria female only male so can't compare. You should've seen its females in Thailand, Papilio polytes romulus subspecies [Cramer, 1775]. As the photo was not signed, I identified it as polytes and even now I'm sure of that it's a polytes female. As for the Papilio alphenor, the article is to be looked up.

16.05.2012 21:56, Lev Bely: comment on Largest butterfly migration recorded in Canada

Approximately 300 million red admiral (Vanessa atalanta) butterflies moved from Windsor (Canada, Ontario) to New Brunswick. Such a massive butterfly migration through Eastern Canada was caused by the unusually warm winter in North America. This will surely have some further consequences for other species too. “It's probably the most exciting year for butterflies that Canada has ever seen,” ...
