Spread specimen needed and even with a photo of its genitalia, otherwise it's a pure guesswork. ;)

10.11.2012 16:26, Lev Bely: comment on Butterflies and music: The Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto

The Butterfly Lovers' Violin Concerto (梁祝小提琴協奏曲) written in 1958 by two composers He Zhanhao and Chen Gang is one of the most famous piece of Chinese orchestral music in China and beyond. This concerto is based on an old Chinese legend telling a tragic love story about two lovers that were separated by the will of the girl's parents. Her lover died of sorrow, and she on the day of ...

04.11.2012 18:31, Lev Bely: comment on Butterflies and music: Union Jack, Papillon

Habitual Sunday crosswords might be changed to this butterfly kaleidoscope in the “Papillon” music video by Union Jack, the trance collaboration between two musicians Simon Berry and Claudio Giussani. Say, to identify all the species shown, count butterfly uppersides and undersides, or colours, or males and females. A nice extra is that you'll see butterflies everywhere the whole rest of the ...

04.11.2012 12:54, Anax chernobila: comment on Pigeon bloodsuckers

I think everyone who keeps street pigeons has come across this stuff! I've been wanting to get a pigeon for a long time, but I've slowed down for now because of these creatures... While they are sitting in a pigeon-it is still tolerable, but when they start flying around the apartment and try to bite me-it drives me crazy! To kill the infection, I need to flatten the bloodsucker with a bag to the ...

03.11.2012 12:01, Peter Khramov: comment on Does anyone know the Latin name for this butterfly?

Denis, this was originally supposed to be the case here http://lepidoptera.ru/community/10606, but there were doubts in the comments. Therefore, I want to find out where the thread is for sure.

02.11.2012 20:01, Lev Bely: comment on Taiwan butterfly patriarch on the “butterfly kingdom” that turned into a desert

Evgeny, thanks, this was actually a guess of mine, concede it might be wrong though. If anyone has or will get the sure version, please comment with a source reference. Till then, I'll sign the species name in the post with a question mark.

02.11.2012 18:21, Lev Bely: comment on Sabre-toothed, big-eyed, horrific: Phyllodes imperialis caterpillar

We may never know whether the animal world celebrates Halloween or not, but if they actually did, the pink underwing moth's caterpillar (Phyllodes imperialis) could be among the first nominees for the best Halloween costume. Looking at this, one may fancy aliens, extraterrestrials, any gattackers but the moth of the family Noctuidae, which is peacefully disappearing somewhere deep in the ...

27.10.2012 14:07, Lev Bely: comment on Butterflies and music: Chilled Monkey Brains, Butterflies

One might think that butterflies and brutal ska punk are hardly compatible. However, this critter is not that fragile as it may seem. Guys from American band Chilled Monkey Brains, Tallahassee, Florida, evidently appreciate such endurance and thus got a whole song dedicated to it.

26.10.2012 21:03, Lev Bely: comment on New Zealand's lepidoptera: Aenetus virescens ghost moth

Aenetus virescens is a moth of the family Hepialidae and one of the largest native moths of New Zealand. Puriri moth as it's called has a 15cm wingspan for what this happens to get mistaken for a bat. This moth spends nearly all its life in the larval stage inside a trunk of some trees—eucalyptus, for instance, and this stage can last up to seven years! Trees that serve as homes to A. ...

25.10.2012 21:29, Lev Bely: comment on Video: Arctiidae moths can muffle bat sonar

A curious video from the National Geographic's “Untamed Americas” miniseries on how Arctiidae moths produce low frequency clicks to muffle the sonar that bats use to guide flight and prey. Thus a bat gets mislead and a moth masterly dodges the attack. National Geographic Untamed Americas, Moth Jamming Bat Sonar
