		Butterflies and Moths ^Votes:0 Butterflies and Moths Discovering Life on a Living Planet Butterflies and Moths Between 150,000 and 200,000 known species of the order Lepidoptera ("scale-wing") live wherever vegetation exists. Adult butterflies and moths usually have wings with overlapping scales covering transparent membranes. When we handle butterflies and moths, the "dust" that comes off is composed of these minute scales. Wing colors and patterns result from either pigments in the scales or their physical structure. Some species' scales refract light, producing iridescent bands of color. While for us their wing colors are the source of delight, for butterflies and moths they serve practical purposes, including camouflage and sexual self-advertisement.

		Butterfly ^Votes:0 Life Cycle of Butterflies and Moths LETS START WITH EGGS! Butterflies and moths are not born with wings. To grow up, they must go through many changes, or metamorphoses (met-uh-more-fo-sis). First, a mother butterfly glues each egg to a host plant (something the baby can eat). Butterfly eggs are round or oval, 1 mm wide, and come in many colors. (Thats only as big as a pencil point!) SQUIRMY, WORMY LARVAE Baby butterflies and moths are called caterpillars, or larvae. After hatching out of the egg, the small caterpillars eat the leaves of their host plant and grow very quickly. Soon, they outgrow their own skin! When this happens, they stop eating and shed their skin (molt). Now, the caterpillar has a new, loose skin, and begins eating again. A caterpillar will molt many times b Read More Go to Site

		Butterfly Life Cycle ^Votes:0 Butterfly and moth life cycle Every butterfly or moth goes through four stages in its life. Each stage is very different from the others. The cycle of stages is called metamorphosis . Egg The egg is the first stage in the butterfly and moth life cycle. Butterfly and moth eggs are very small and round, oval or cylindrical. Many have ribs or other tiny features. Females lay their eggs on or near the plants that will later become caterpillar food. Monarch butterfly egg Larva The larva hatches from the egg. Butterfly and moth larvae are usually called caterpillars. Caterpillars spend most of their time eating. Butterflies and moths do all of their growing when they're caterpillars, and food gives them the energy and body-building materials they need. A caterpillar's exoskeleton can't stretch o Read More Go to Site

Each specimen is presented with a scale bar of 1 cm (5 cm for Sphingidae and larger moths). All specimens illustrated ha Read More Go to Site

		Caterpillars of Australian SPHINGIDAE ^Votes:0 SPHINGIDAE of Australia Hawk Moths Don Herbison-Evans ( donherbisonevans@yahoo.com ) & Stella Crossley (updated 9 December 2005) The SPHINGIDAE are called Hawk Moths because the can fly very fast, and can also hover in flight. They use this latter ability to sip nectar from flowers using their long Haustellum (tongue), when they fly in the evening. They are large moths with long narrow fore wings, and smaller hind wings. When at rest, they hold their wings over the body like a tent. Undetermined Australian Hawk Moth Caterpillars Many Hawk Moth caterpillars are easily recognised by the dorsal horn on the last segment. It looks quite dangerous, but is quite harmless. Many of the Caterpillars are brightly coloured, with diagonal stripes and eyespots. The caterpillars grow to a length of 5 cms Read More Go to Site

		Minibeast Profile No. 20: Butterflies and Moths ^Votes:0 Minibeast Profiles: Butterflies and Moths by Gary A. Dunn, M.S., F.R.E.S., Director of Education Butterflies and moths have fascinated humans for a very long time. Just about every human culture, past and present, has produced myths, legends, stories, and poems about these beautiful insects. The butterflies and moths (order Lepidoptera) are the second largest group of insects with over 120,000 species worldwide (10,000 species in North America). The adults of most butterflies and moths have two pairs of wings (a very few, like the cankerworm moth female are wingless). The wings (and bodies) are covered with a dense covering of flattened hairs, or scales; these scales are the "dust" that appears on your fingers when you handle a butterfly or moth. Generally speaking, butterflies can be dist Read More Go to Site
