Kulo mBhalo, bhala amaphuzu athakazelisayo ngamabhabhathane
Context:Izimvemvane (Rhopalocera) ziyizinambuzane ezinamaphiko amakhulu, ngokuvamile anemibala egqamile, kanye nokundiza okuphawulekayo. Leli qembu lihlanganisa imindeni emikhulu iHedyloidea (ama-moth-butterflies aseMelika) nePapilionoidea. Izinsalela zezimvemvane zaqala ngePaleocene, cishe eminyakeni eyizigidi ezingu-56 edlule.  Izimvemvane zinomjikelezo wokuphila wezigaba ezine, njengoba njengezinambuzane eziningi ziguquka ngokuphelele. Abantu abadala abanamaphiko babeka amaqanda abo esitshalweni sokudla okuzodla kuso izibungu zabo, ezaziwa ngokuthi ama-caterpillar. Ama-caterpillar akhula, ngezinye izikhathi ngokushesha okukhulu, futhi lapho esekhule ngokugcwele, abe yizimpungushe. Lapho ukuguquka kwesimo sekuphelile, isikhumba sikanogwaja siyahlukana, isinambuzane esikhulile sikhuphuke, futhi ngemva kokuba amaphiko aso eselulekile futhi omile, siyaphaphama. Ezinye izimvemvane, ikakhulukazi ezindaweni ezishisayo, ziba nezizukulwane eziningana ngonyaka, kuyilapho ezinye ziba nesizukulwane esisodwa, futhi ezimbalwa ezisezindaweni ezibandayo zingase zithathe iminyaka eminingana ukuze zidlule kuwo wonke umjikelezo wazo wokuphila.
1. Izinkomo Izimvemvane (ama-Rhopalocera) ziyizinambuzane ezinamaphiko amakhulu, ngokuvamile anemibala egqamile nemiklamo yokundiza egqamile. 2. Izingelosi Iqembu leli lakhiwa yiqembu lezinhlobo zama-Hedyloidea (ama-moth-butterflies aseMelika) kanye lezinhlobo zama-Papilionoidea. 3. Izindaba Ezinhle Cishe eminyakeni eyizigidi ezingu-56 edlule, phakathi nePaleocene, kwaqala ukuvela izimvemvane. 4. Izidakamizwa Njengamanye izinambuzane, izimvemvane zidlula ekuguqulweni okuphelele, futhi zinomjikelezo wokuphila wezigaba ezine. 5. Izingelosi Abantu abadala abanamaphiko babeka amaqanda abo esitshalweni sokudla okuzodliwa izibungu ezinjengezimpethu. Isiyisithupha. Ama-caterpillar avuthwa, ngezinye izikhathi ngokushesha okukhulu, abese eba ama-chrysalises uma esekhule ngokuphelele. 7. Izingelosi Ngemva kokuba ukuguquka kuqediwe, isinambuzane esikhulile sikhasa siphume esikhunjeni saso futhi somise amaphiko aso ngaphambi kokuba siphaphame. 8. Izingelosi Ezinye izimvemvane, ikakhulukazi lezo ezihlala ezindaweni ezishisayo, ziba nezizukulwane eziningi unyaka ngamunye, kuyilapho ezinye ziba nesizukulwane esisodwa kuphela. Ezinye izimvemvane ezihlala ezindaweni ezibandayo zingase zithathe iminyaka eminingana ukuze ziqede umjikelezo wazo wokuphila.
