1 |
♀ |
Ruby-spotted Swallowtail Heraclides anchisiades idaeus |
The pink and black dorsal hindwing "larval band" resembles early instar larvae, which are gregarious. LS The News:2006 (48:2). [PAUL listing the citation seems to suggest it will discuss the resemblance, but, of course, doesn't. Your thoughts?] |

The instar is not noted on the photograph. Later instars are darker. | ||

♀ |
Eastern Tiger swallowtail |
© 2008 Kim Davis, Mike Stangeland, and Andrew Warren | This example is from our text. The lower end of the pale blue-green dorsal hindwing "larval band" has an orange spot that resembles the partially everted orange osmiteria that larvae display defensively. When alive, forewings cover the upper hindwing orange spot and complete the larval resemblance. LS The News: 2008 (50:3-4), 2006 (48:3), 1980 (22:1), 1974 (16:2.) Paul: I added old citations to show you what it would look like to go beyond the last five years of the newsletter you gave me. I need to be careful with my time. Is it important enough? |
© Michael Singer | This photo is from a study of herbivore diet breadth vs. bird predation, it was found that "Caterpillars with generalized diets are less likely than specialists to be camouflaged or to display warning colors or features to avian predators." Read more at: http://phys.org/news/2014-07-eaters-eaten.html#j. The instar is not noted on the photograph. [Paul better to cut the discussion on diet width and camouflage?] |
