a gribble / ˈgɹɪbəl / ( or gribble worm ) is any of about 56 species of marine isopod from the family limnoriidae .

they are mostly pale white and small ( 1 – 4 millimetres or 0.04 – 0.16 inches long ) crustaceans , although limnoria stephenseni from subantarctic waters can reach 10 mm ( 0.4 in ) .

but new research that shows how the gribble digests wood could hold a key to the production of carbon - neutral fuels from waste .

a team of government - funded british researchers has learned that gribble have a gift for digesting wood not seen in any other animal .

the onsite micro - brewery has been active since the opening of the pub in 1980 . head brewer , rob cooper , has brewed beer at the gribble since it opened . his late father was the head brewer before him and both had the pleasure of knowing rose gribble

but now the humble ‘gribble’ could hold the key to the production of sustainable carbon - neutral fuels , thanks to their unusual digestive system .

a gribble - like processing plant could make sugars from woody raw material that can be fermented into alcohol - based fuels for vehicle engines .

this is exciting to scientists investigating green fuel sources , because it means gribble could hold the key to converting wood and straw into liquid biofuel .

researchers at the universities of york and portsmouth made the discovery after carrying out an extensive study of digestive genes from the gribble species limnoria quadripunctata .

the scientists investigated a digestive organ in gribble called the hepatopancreas , a sort of appendix consisting of two blind - ended sacs connected to the stomach .

it seems possible from the four spots on the rear end of this little chap that the species represented here is limnoria quadripunctata holthuis , 1949 ; but in the absence of any online gribble guide it’s hard to be sure . any gribble experts want to speculate ? [ update : see comments below for elucidation ]

gribble was strolling down the 6th fairway that runs along the water thursday at the arnold palmer invitational when he spotted an alligator sunning itself along the fairway ' s edge . at this point the obvious course of action would have been to change direction and avoid any interaction with the reptile , but gribble chose a different path .

in thursday ' s opening round of the john deere classic , cody gribble did something all weekend hackers are familiar with . hitting a fairway wood on the par - 5 17th at tpc deere run , gribble topped his second shot in embarrassing fashion . how the pga tour rookie reacted , however , is something most golfers could learn from .

the gribble offers comfortable chesterfield sofas surrounding two roaring log fires to warm you in the winter months and a pretty cottage garden in which to enjoy the long summer evenings .

for centuries , seafarers were plagued by wood - eating gribble that destroyed their ships , and these creatures continue to wreak damage on wooden piers and docks in coastal communities .

note : gribble also provides a stock entity ( gribble . entity < tkey > ) and class map ( gribble . intkeyentitymap / guidkeyentitymap ) out of the box that only contains an id and values property . this is handy if you need to work with a table that is completely dynamic and do not want to create an entity and map . table contains static factory methods , discussed next , that omit the mapping and will use the built in one ( table . create < tkey > ( . . . ) ) .

gribble played in college at texas and is the second member of the school ' s 2012 national championship team to win a pga tour event . the other is jordan spieth .

this is true of both cows and termites . but gribble have no symbiotic microbes in their digestive systems , and produce all the enzymes needed to convert wood into sugars themselves .

whether the gribble worm ' s process is scalable is another issue , but such minor details do not seem to make it into the hyperbolic press releases announcing these ' discoveries . '

jackson , miss . - - cody gribble and his caddie talked a ton during the final nine holes of his impressive run to a sanderson farms championship victory . very little was about golf .

by examining genes that are expressed in the guts of gribble , the researchers have demonstrated that its digestive system contains enzymes which could hold the key to converting wood and straw into liquid biofuels .

the gribble worm is more known as a pest that eats the hulls of ships . it turns out the bacteria in its stomach produces the requisite enzymes that can break cellulose into simple sugars .

scientists at the university of york believe that potent digestive enzymes that the gribble produces to convert wood into the sugars they live on , could be harnessed as a crucial component in making liquid biofuels .

gribble are voracious consumers of wood and have all the enzymes needed for its digestion . the enzymes attach to a long chain of complex sugars and then chop off small soluble molecules that can be easily digested or fermented . the researchers identified a cellulase ( an enzyme that converts cellulose into glucose ) from gribble that has some unusual properties and used the latest imaging technology to understand more about it .

unlike termites and other wood - eating animals , gribble have no helpful microbes in their digestive system . this means that they must possess all of the enzymes needed to convert wood into sugars themselves .

gribble had two birdies on the front nine to stay in contention , then ran off birdies on nos . 11 , 13 , 15 , 16 and 17 . he finished at 20 - under 268 .

the york project , headed by professor simon mcqueen - mason , is working with marine biologists at portsmouth university to identify the enzymes in the gribble’s digestive tract that are the most efficient in breaking down wood .

they talked about gribble ' s texas longhorns and their big win in football over baylor on saturday . they talked about the chicago cubs and the world series . they discussed their upcoming trip to las vegas .

which brings us to the announcement by the university of york and university of portsmouth in the united kingdom that a crustacean called the " gribble worm " is an idiot savant when it comes to transforming wood into sugars .

the gribble inn is a charming public house within west sussex , nestled in the quaint village of oving . it is situated close to the south downs with views to goodwood , three miles from the historical city of chichester .

following her death in 1980 , local farmer peter hague compassionately bought and transformed the cottage into a public house for the local oving parishioners . in memory of rose , peter named the pub ‘the gribble’ as a lasting tribute .

we have just completed our first steps into the world of bottling . we are pleased to announce our santa’s sack limited edition bottled ruby red ale 5 . 4 % is now available to purchase in house at the gribble inn

the gribble , a wood - boring marine isopod long has been considered nothing more than a nautical nuisance . its specialty is boring its way into the wooden hulls of ships , turning seafaring into an even more perilous undertaking .

" most animals that consume wood have digestive tracts packed with microbes that help to digest the cell wall polymers , but the gribble’s is sterile , so it must produce all the enzymes needed to break down the wood itself . we have done extensive dna sequencing of the genes expressed in its gut , and we have detected cellulases never seen in animals before . we want to see if it’s possible to adapt the gribble digestive enzymes for industrial purposes . "

to do this they turned to the destructive power of tiny wood - boring marine isopod called ‘gribble’ , which historically attacked the timber hulls of seafarers’ ships , and continue to wreak damage on wooden piers and docks in coastal communities .

the small talk worked . gribble finished with a 7 - under 65 - - which included five birdies on a spectacular back nine - - to turn a tight fight into a four - stroke victory and his pga tour title .

the gribble fluent mapping works the same as fnh . if the column is omitted the property name is used as the column name . the id mapping is only required when creating , modifying or deleting entities . if you will only be querying entities the id mapping is not required . the generated ( ) flag tells gribble that it will need to generate the id . in this case it will generate a guid comb . if the id is generated by the database , as in the case of an identity field or default value , this flag should be omitted . the dynamic ( ) flag this tells gribble that the property will be a catch all bag for columns that are not mapped .

this information will help the researchers to design more robust enzymes for industrial applications . while similar cellulases have been found in wood - degrading fungi , the enzyme from gribble shows some important differences . in particular , the gribble cellulase is extremely resistant to aggressive chemical environments and can work in conditions seven times saltier than sea water . being robust in difficult environments means that the enzymes can last much longer when working under industrial conditions and so less enzyme will be needed .

cody gribble didn ' t have the best first round at bay hill , as evidenced by his triple - bogey at the 3rd hole , but it could have taken a turn for the worse when came across an alligator on the course .

the scientists at york are now studying the enzymes to establish how they work , and whether they can be adapted to industrial applications . perhaps one day soon seafarers will be sailing the seas on ships powered with biofuels produced with gribble enzymes .

so try to follow cody gribble ' s lead when it comes to handling bad shots on the golf course . however , we still recommend that you don ' t follow his lead when it comes to dealing with gators on the golf course .

we are proud to present our very own micro - brewery here on site at the gribble inn . we have the capacity to brew up to 4320 litres of beer every week , with the capabilities to vary our types and styles of beer .

while similar cellulase have been characterised from wood - degrading fungi , the enzyme from gribble shows some important differences . in particular , the gribble cellulase is extremely resistant to aggressive chemical environments and can work in conditions seven times saltier than sea water . being robust to difficult environments means that the enzymes can last much longer when working under industrial conditions and so less enzyme will be needed . understanding the structural basis for this robustness will help the researchers to design more robust enzymes for industrial applications .

specifically , mcqueen - mason and his team have been studying an enzyme found in the gribble that could show the way to breaking down wood into simple sugars . their work could lead the way in turning waste—paper , scrap wood and straw—into liquid fuel .

on sunday , gribble started slowly , but picked up steam on an unseasonably hot day in jackson where the temperature pushed 90 degrees . he made a short birdie putt on 11 and then hit a difficult downhill 18 - foot putt for birdie on 13 .

gribble is a simple , linq enabled orm that was designed to work with dynamically created tables . it was not meant to be a replacement for a full fledged orm like nhiberate but to handle a use case that other orm ' s could not handle well .

" i knew i was in a good spot and i knew i was playing well , " gribble said . " it ' s hard not to sit there and look at the scoreboard , look where you ' re at and how you ' re doing . "

the research team—from university of york , university of portsmouth , hampshire , uk , and the national renewable energy laboratory , golden , colo . —have used advanced biochemical analysis and x - ray imaging techniques to determine the structure and function of the enzyme used by the gribble .

a great treat for christmas ! here at the the gribble inn & brewery we offer gift vouchers to purchase for that special someone . they are redeemable against our food and drink offerings , as well as against our brewery talks . we offer voucher denominations of £5 & £10 .

gribble looked as if he might have trouble just making the cut at the country club of jackson after an opening 73 . he bounced back with a 63 in the second round to jump into contention - - one shy of the course record - - and followed it up with a 67 on saturday .

gribble obviously has a way to go to match the accomplishments of spieth , who is among the world ' s best players , but the sanderson farms win is certainly a good start . he earned $ 756 , 000 , 300 fedexcup points and exempt status on tour through the 2018 - 19 season .

dr . gribble is a molecular biologist broadly interested in the evolution , ecology and life history of marine and freshwater plankton . she combines her training in biological oceanography , evolution , and molecular biology to investigate how environment and genetics influence the phenotypic plasticity of life history strategy and morphology to allow adaptation to changes in environmental conditions and to determine evolutionary fitness . by understanding the outcomes induced by specific environmental conditions , the molecular genetic bases of phenotypic changes , and the evolutionary conservation of plasticity , dr . gribble’s research enables predictions about the results of changing environmental conditions at scales ranging from the individual to the ecosystem .

kirk won the tournament in 2011 , back when it was called the viking classic and played at nearby annandale golf club . he was in contention again at the country club of jackson after shooting a 65 in the third round , but nobody was able to keep up with gribble ' s torrid pace on sunday .

simon mcqueen - mason has seen the destructive power of the tiny gribble first hand . before he became a plant scientist , mcqueen - mason—who today works in the centre for novel agricultural products at the university of york , heslington , york , uk—was a commercial fisherman who owned his own wooden - hulled fishing boat .

“when simon cragg first looked at gribbles through an electron microscope he was able to see their gut was completely sterile , which means nature had got there before us . what is happening inside a gribble’s gut is nature’s own bioreactor and now we have the blueprint of this enzyme , we just need to copy it . ”

dr mcgeehan said : “the 3d structure has revealed that although the skeleton of the gribble enzyme is very similar to the equivalent enzymes in fungi , the surface is unrecognisable . it appears that the consequence of evolution in a marine environment is an acidic coat that protects the enzyme from high concentrations of salt . this unusual salt tolerance and stability represent exciting properties with great potential benefit to industry . ”

in research published in the proceedings of the ( u . s . ) national academy of sciences , a team headed by simon mcqueen - mason and neil bruce at york , and simon cragg at portsmouth reveal that the gribble digestive tract is dominated by enzymes that attack the polymers that make up wood . one of the most abundant enzymes is a cellulose degrading enzyme never before seen in animals .

the ultimate aim is to reproduce the effect of this enzyme on an industrial scale . rather than trying to get the cellulase from gribble , the team have transferred the genetic blueprint of this enzyme to an industrial microbe that can produce it in large quantities , in the same way that enzymes for biological washing detergents are made . by doing this they hope to cut the costs of turning woody materials into biofuels .

update : the release of the gribble armada after our brave little tv stars had managed to survive over 24 hours away from seawater they were starting to look a bit sluggish when asked to perform yet again under the lights this morning at work . the ranger decided they needed to be given a fighting chance to go off and nibble some toff’s yacht in cowes . so down to the river medina went the gribbles , wrapped in a magazine , and they were sent off in a little flotilla of wooden fragments .

using advanced biochemical analysis and x - ray imaging techniques , scientists from the centre for novel agricultural products ( cnap ) in the department of biology at york , the university of portsmouth and the national renewable energy laboratory in the usa have determined the structure and function of a key enzyme used by gribble to digest wood . this will help the researchers to reproduce its effects on an industrial scale in a bid to create sustainable liquid biofuels . the research is published in the proceedings of the national academy of sciences usa .

duke gribble received his state of california k12 teaching credential and baccalaureate degree from northridge university , while majoring in english and theater . he has over 10 years experience as an environmental sciences educator in california and has been recognized by the united states presidency for service to the nation through environmental protection . as an avid outdoor enthusiast and naturalist , duke has traveled and studied extensively throughout natural ecosystems in america and abroad . he is currently writing and editing technical documents for an entomological website database and working on educational theatre projects for the dietrick institute .

we create a sqlstatement object by passing in a connection manager , an optional class map ( only used when returning entities ) and an optional profiler . you can create a sqlstatement object with the new keyword or one of the static factory methods . there is a connection manager that takes a system . data . sqlconnection or connection string and one that takes an nhibernate . isession ( when using nhibernate integration ) . gribble supports the go keyword and will automatically split the statement into seperate batches . it uses the last batch for return values , preceding batches are executed non query .

current research in the gribble lab focuses on studies of evolution , life history , and aging using monogonont rotifers . rotifers are aquatic invertebrate animals with many advantages as a model in aging and maternal effects research : small size and a two - week lifespan enables high replication and rapid experimentation , transparency allows easy microscopy , clonal propagation permits direct examination of maternal effects without changes in genome , and inducible sexual reproduction enables crossing and traditional genetics . tools for rotifer research include genomes , transcriptomes , and rnai . rotifers are thus a tractable and robust system for investigating many basic biological questions , including the evolution of mate recognition and speciation , the influence of environmental conditions on phenotypic plasticity , and the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms of aging , lifespan - extending interventions , and maternal effects .

this thesis uses a vulnerability assessment approach that has been applied in a variety of fisheries and natural resource management contexts . this approach has been taken because vulnerability assessments provide a useful framework for organising and integrating different types of information . vulnerability frameworks have been used to assess a variety of fisheries related risks including the risks to bycatch species such as sea snakes and turtles ( griffiths et al . , 2006 , milton , 2001 ) and sharks and rays ( stobutzki et al . , 2002 ) ; the economic risks climate change poses to fisheries ( fletcher , 2005 ) ; sustainability and risks of targeted fishing for sharks and rays ( salini et al . , 2007 , walker , 2005a ) , and a wide range of other fisheries ( see hobday et al . , 2007 for review ) . australian fisheries have used vulnerability frameworks which compare a species’ susceptibility to the fishery against its productivity to describe sustainability ( gribble et al . , 2005 , hobday et al . , 2007 , salini et al . , 2007 , stobutzki et al . , 2001 ) . vulnerability frameworks are also used in assessing the vulnerability of species and systems to climate change ( chin et al . , 2010 , füssel & klein , 2006 , johnson & marshall , 2007 ) .

theretra lycetus , the white-edged hunter hawkmoth , is a moth of the family sphingidae .

it is known from south-east asia , including malaysia , thailand , india , sri lanka and indonesia .

theretra lycetus

theretra lycetus <EOT> theretra lycetus is not as common on the t . oldenlandiae for your location , but the pink suffusion supports this idea . see below for a picture :

as mattdmo suggested , this is a hawk moth . given your location and season , this is why i thought it was either the impatiens hawkmoth ( theretra oldenlandiae ) or the white - edged hunter hawkmoth ( theretra lycetus ) . and finally , why i now think it is the brown - banded hunter ( theretra silhetensis ) .

ed note : august 26 , 2011 after an exchange of comments , we now agree that this is not a yam hawkmoth , but the closely related theretra lycetus from the same genus .

{ author1 , author2 . . . } , ( n . d . ) . theretra lycetus cramer , 1775 . [ online ] india biodiversity portal , species page : { name of species field } available at : urltoken [ accessed date jul 10 , 2018 ] .

almost positive it ' s the impatiens hawkmoth , ( theretra oldenlandiae ) , which is common in india . site for reference

when it comes down to it , that solid single white line is the biggest indicator it is a t . silhetensis over a t . oldenlandiae or t . lycetus .

theretra oldenlandiae was my original instinct , since it is a more common in your area and the banding / stripe pattern matches to a t .

superficially similar to hippotion geryon but immediately distinguishable by the shape of the pale postmedian band and crenulated forewing outer margin . distinguished from centroctena imitans by the broader forewing , with a less crenulated and angulate outer margin with the tooth on m2 the same size as that on m1 . forewing upperside with postmedian lines much more strongly undulate between the apex and m3 than in centroctena imitans uncus rather narrow and obviously curved , apically slightly sinuate . gnathos apically rounded . valve with about 12 large stridulatory scales . harpe a long , slender , horizontal , cylindrical process , slightly upcurved apically . aedeagus superficially similar to theretra clotho group in having a large patch of erect , somewhat curved , deciduous spines , their tips pointing distad ; differing , however , in the spines being curved ( not straight ) and having only a single point , rather than multiple ( caltrops ) points sterigma similar to theretra lycetus , but more triangular . ostium bursae asymmetrical , but not so prominent as in theretra lycetus

the theretra silhetensis exhibits a solid white line along the upperside of its abdomen , and more of a faded banding pattern on the forethat corresponds with your picture . these moths are also common in india .

theretra oldenlandiae , the impatiens hawkmoth or taro hornworm , is a member of the family sphingidae found in india , sri lanka , china , borneo , japan , the philippines , thailand , and australia .

wingspan : 70 - - 90mm . immediately distinguishable from all other species of theretra by the white forewing costa and discal spot , and a narrow white dorsal line restricted to the thorax . forewing upperside purplish - brown with only serrate postmedian line clearly visible ; discal spot a small white dot ; costa highlighted with white . hindwing upperside orange with a slightly darker , diffuse marginal band . head and thorax chestnut - brown ; thorax with a white dorsal stripe and a similar lateral stripe from tip of palpus to end of thorax ; abdomen with first two segments chestnut - brown , rest brownish - pink , paler on the sides . opening at apex of labial palp segment one partly covered by single long scales from the first and second segments ( as in theretra castanea ) . thorax with a white medial line . forebasitarsus with external row of spines doubled and trebled .

theretra oldenlandiae oldenlandiae ( from sri lanka and southern india north to northern pakistan , northern afghanistan , nepal , bhutan and myanmar . then northeastwards through china to taiwan , south korea and japan , and then southeastwards through south east asia as far as the andaman islands , the solomon islands and the philippines . strongly migratory northward to northeastern china ( heilongjiang , liaoning and jilin ) , eastern russia ( primorskiy kray ) and northern japan )

larval hostplants . recorded in china only on aporosa octandra , from both guangdong ( mell , 1922b - - as aporosa leptostachys ) and hong kong ( waring et al . , 1994 - - as aporosa chinensis ) . in india and burma / myanmar theretra pallicosta also feeds on species of aporosa ( fellowes - manson , 1909 ; bell & scott , 1937 ) , while in pakistan it has been recorded on vitis ( fletcher , 1920 ) . a record from camellia sinensis in india ( andrews , 1921 ) is erroneous .

the species differs from lycetus in being greyish brown without pink suffusion and the two dorsal lines on abdomen silvery white . there are also oblique stripes on forewing and the sides of abdomen is ochreous , not golden . hindwing with the submarginal band ochreous and narrow . larva is pale purplish brown in color . there is a yellow subdorsal line and white spots with a pale lateral line below them on the thoracic somites . black - ringed ocelli can be seen on 4th to 10th somites , where the first two centered with blue , and posterior with purple . in the early instars , posterior ocelli are centered with crimson color with dorsal bands of yellow specks . the species is found in open lowland habitats .

chaerocampa pallicosta walker , 1856 , list specimens lepid . insects colln br . mus . 8 : 145 . type locality : [ bangladesh , ] silhet [ sylhet ] ; [ china , ] hong kong .

in the male genitalia , uncus weakly sinuate . gnathos rather narrow , pointed . valve with about ten large stridulatory scales . harpe long , slender , horizontal , apex rounded in dorsal view , flattened . aedeagus with apical edge dorsally rounded - produced , symmetrical ; on left and right sides are dentate processes pointing anteriorly , the left more slender and slightly longer than the right .

according to bell & scott ( 1937 ) , in southern india the moth does not emerge and lay its eggs till the monsoon is well established , about july , but in myanmar ( burma ) eggs and larvae were found before the end of april . they did not see the moth feeding or come to light .

china : iii - xi ( hong kong ) ; v ( yunnan ) ; vii ( xizang / tibet ) .

ovum : green , oval , surface smooth and shiny . usually found on small bushy plants , close to the ground , and even on seedlings with only a few leaves showing above the ground ( bell & scott , 1937 ) .

larva : full - fed 60 - - 85mm , width 12mm , horn 5mm . according to bell & scott ( 1937 ) , in the first instar head and body yellowish - green , dorsum of segments 2 to 4 dark green ; horn long , thick at base , tapering gently to a strongly bifid tip , the two arms thick at base and shortly conical , shiny black with small black tubercles . towards the end of this instar the whole body becomes pale grass - green . there are dorso - lateral eye - spots on segments 5 to 11 , that on 5 large , round , white with a crescent of black below ; these decreasing in size backwards , the white reduced in size in each successive eye - spot until it has disappeared altogether on that of 11 .

in the second instar , head orange , and an orange band along front margin of 2 ; rest of body yellowish - green . eye - spot on 5 nearly round , pupil enamel - white with a narrow crescent of purple below , the whole edged fairly broadly above and below , narrowly at sides , with black . remaining eye - spots smaller , longitudinally oval , colour the same as that on 5 , but the white pupil oval and oblique ( bell & scott , 1937 ) .

in the third instar , segments 4 and 5 slightly tumid ; head grass - green ; body bluish - green dotted obscurely with yellow on 6 to 12 . there is a narrow , obscure , dark bluish - green dorsal stripe , and a faint - yellowish subdorsal stripe on 3 and 4 . a large round eye - spot is present on 5 , its pupil sap - green with broad yellow iris edged narrowly with dark green ; the pupil bears a longitudinal oval marking of electric - blue edged narrowly with paler blue , and within the yellow iris are two crescents , one at the top of electric - blue , and a purple one at the bottom . remaining eye - spots smaller , oval , the oblique , very pale blue pupil edged narrowly above with dark green , below by a purple crescent and then dark green . these eye - spots lying on obscure pale yellowish oblique stripes . horn long , thin , tapering gently to near tip where it thickens slightly to a bifid tip , the two arms shortly conical ( bell & scott , 1937 ) .

by the fourth instar segments 4 and 5 much swollen ; head grass - green ; body pale grass - green covered with a chalk - like bloom , segments 6 to 11 with short thick grass - green stripes around the secondary rings ; a narrow dark green dorsal stripe is present . eye - spot on 5 large , nearly round , coloured as in the third instar , but the pupil of a darker shade ; other eye - spots smaller , elongate - oval , very oblique , lying at the same angle as the oblique lateral stripes , pale yellow with a crescent of purple below , the whole edged narrowly above and below with sap - green . the obscure yellowish oblique lateral stripes are interrupted by the oblique eye - spots , except that on 11 and 12 , which runs forwards and downwards from base of horn . horn long , thick at base , tapering evenly to tip , which is slightly , thickened ; basal two - thirds straight , distal third gently up - curved ; basal third orange , rest translucent pale green , surface shiny and covered with self - coloured , spine - like tubercles .

in the fifth and final instar , head with vertex depressed ; true clypeus between one - third and one - half length of head , triangular ; false clypeus hardly visible ; labrum and ligula large , ligula broad kidney - shaped ; surface of head smooth and dull . body smooth and dull , shaped as in others of the genus , with segment 5 much swollen . horn short , tapering gently to near tip , then abruptly to a blunt point , gently down - curved ; surface dull and sparsely tuberculate ( bell & scott , 1937 ) .

there are also dark - coloured forms of the larva in which the green is replaced by pinkish - chocolate and dark chocolate , or by purplish ; the eye - spots are as above but darker in shade ; those on 6 to 11 sometimes indistinct ; horn brown with yellowish tip ; spiracles fuscous with a broad border of pale dull ochreous .

as with the eggs , the larva is also found close to the ground or among the thicker parts of the foliage , near the stem ( bell & scott , 1937 ) .

pupa : 45 - - 60mm , width 13mm . colour of head , tongue - case and wing - case nearly black ; segments 2 and 3 dark wood - brown , 3 and dorsum of abdomen paler wood - brown . abdomen with a broad faint greenish dorsal stripe . sides bone - colour mottled and speckled with brown ; hind bevels of 8 to 10 greenish ; front bevels of 9 to 11 rusty ; 12 to 14 blackish ventrally , 13 and 14 also blackish dorsally ; venter pale with a narrow black ventral stripe ; spiracles and cremaster black , the tips of the teeth white ( bell & scott , 1937 ) .

tongue - case projecting somewhat frontad and more ventrad , the edge flattened . antenna equal to fore leg , which reaches to more than one - half the distance to tip of wing - case , mid - leg to three - quarters that distance ; there is a narrow coxal piece . surface dull ; sides of tongue - case , head and thorax coarsely irregularly transversely corrugate ; with a very shallow palpal depression . costa of fore wing tumid and , together with the veins , set with lines of rounded tubercles . abdomen finely shagreened ; front bevels of 9 to 11 superficially pitted ; five narrow ante - spiracular ridges on 9 ; hind margin of 11 tumid and undercut , the front margin of 12 fitting into it telescopically . spiracle of 2 at the bottom of a very deep triangular depression ; remaining spiracles slightly convex ovals , the central slit widening at the ends and with a thick rim ( bell & scott , 1937 ) .

cremaster with the sides nearly parallel in basal half , then curving inwards , ending in two conical simply pointed diverging teeth , their bases touching ; dorsal surface convex and coarsely striate , ventral concave with an irregular mesial ridge . under the base of cremaster a deep funnel - shaped depression running forwards into 14 , the surface of the hollow very rugose .

in thailand , also recorded from polyalthia cerasoides ( eitschberger & ihle , 2010 ) .

china : shaanxi ( xi ' an ) ; yunnan ( changning co . , songzhishanding , 2800m ; gaoligong shan ) ; xizang / tibet ( xiachayu , zayu county ) ; fujian ( jianyang ) ; guangdong ( guangzhou ; nankunshan ) ; hong kong ; hainan .

from sri lanka and india , east through nepal ( haruta , 1992 ) , bangladesh and burma / myanmar to hong kong and taiwan , and south through thailand , laos and vietnam to peninsular malaysia and indonesia ( sumatra , java ) . the shaanxi record is well north of the rest of the known range of this species and probably represents a vagrant .

it is approx 1 . 5 inch ( 3 cm to 4 . 5 cm ) long

just few hours ago ( around night 10 to 10 . 30 pm local time ) , this insect entered into our home , flying in high - speed and hitting to wall , objects , and to us . to keep it calm we turned the room - light off . then it became steady on my father ' s shirt even after the light again turned on , and it was a beautiful moth - like insect . after taking photo it gently freed out of the room .

p . s . i ' ve very very little - experience in practical - zoology , however after few hours google search it seems to match with those moths tagged as " hawk - moths " , and another notable feature when it was flying it looked like a hummingbird or a small bird , that was written in the description of some " hawk - moths " in different sites . initially we ' re taking time to decide whether it is an insect or a bird .

it looks like urltoken urltoken , ; urltoken , urltoken , and urltoken . etc .

if i able to identify it by someone , i ' ll upload it here . thanks .

it is differs from t . oldenlandiae in being very much paler in color and with white line down center of abdomen .

while my final answer is the brown - banded hunter hawkmoth , below are the original two species i suspected it was and why . i ' ve included them below simply for reference / alternative comparisons .

your specimen exhibits pink suffusion , especially on the back edge of the fore wing .

for these two reasons i think it is not the impatiens hawkmoth and thought it was more likely the . . .

this still doesn ' t explain the double vs . single white stripe along the upper abdomen . which is why i know believe it is the . . .

as an aside , this could be an example of polymorphism vs . identifying characters . welcome to the world of taxonomic lumpers and splitters . . .

thanks . also i don ' t know , how - frequent posting of identification question is considered as ok , ( i . e . is there any limit on it ) in this se community , however i posted this - one because this - insect was very surprising to us . . . it looked like a tiny bird when it was flying .

no problem at all . i think as long as you do not spam posts you should be in the clear ( although i ' m not the final say in the matter ) . as for confusing a moth for a bird , you aren ' t the first one ! this moth in the same sphingidae family was posted just last week ! and thank you to your post ! very clear picture of the moth with a good explanation

this page gave me the clue , and the link to the page above . like i said , i ' m not an entomologist : )

they are often considered a pest on both busy lizzie ( impatiens wallerana ) and fuchsias ( fuchsia sp . ) . caterpillars of this species have also been seen feeding on arum lily ( zantedeschia aethiopica ) , argentine trumpet vine ( clytostoma callistegioides ) , climbing guinea flower ( hibbertia scandens ) , billy goat plum ( planchonia careya ) , godetia ( clarkia amoena ) , star cluster ( pentas lanceolata ) , australian native violet ( viola hederacea ) and slender grape ( cayratia clematidea ) . the larvae are black with yellow dots , they have a small spine on their tails and use it as a mimicked head . before pupating the caterpillar will reach a length of about 70 mm .

the adult is brown with light brown stripes down the thorax . the stripes are mimicked on the inner margin of the forewing .


calliphara nobilis is a species of insect in the family scutelleridae ( hemiptera ) .

the larvae live exclusively on the mangrove excoecaria algallocha , feeding on the developing seeds .

adults are 10 – 15 millimetres ( 0.4 – 0.6 in ) long .

shield / stink bug calliphara nobilis family pentatomidae adult length : 15 mm larvae are found only on excoecaria agallocha , feeding on developing seeds , but adults can be abundant in gregarious swarms beneath any large leaves ( e . g . , rhizophora spp . ) and disperse with a loud buzzing when disturbed . < < back to insects

though some species are quite drab , the most conspicuous jewel bugs are often brilliantly colored , exhibiting a wide range of iridescent metallic hues that change with the view angle . the colors are the result of a combination of factors . some species like chrsyocoris stockerus and scutellera nobilis display colors from multiple thin layers of pigmented chitin . the colors often change or become duller when the specimens are dried , due to the topmost chitinous layer becoming opaque and obscuring the colors of the bottom layer . the colors can be restored by moistening the surfaces with water .

they are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration . they are also known as shield - backed bugs due to the enlargement of the last section of their thorax into a continuous shield over the abdomen and wings . these insects feed on plant juices from a variety of different species , including some commercial crops . like stink bugs , a vast majority of jewel bugs , both adults and nymphs , are also capable of releasing pungent defensive chemicals from glands located on the sides of the thorax . typical compounds exuded by jewel bugs include alcohols , aldehydes , and esters . nymphs and adults often exhibit clustering behavior , being found in large numbers close to each other . this behavior is thought to have an evolutionary advantage . the more individuals present in an area , the stronger the odour of the chemicals released when the bugs are threatened . if this fails , stink bugs will react to threat by flying away or dropping to the ground . the colors are the result of a combination of factors . some species like chrsyocoris stockerus and scutellera nobilis display colors from multiple thin layers of pigmented chitin . the colors often change or become duller when the specimens are dried , due to the topmost chitinous layer becoming opaque and obscuring the colors of the bottom layer . the colors can be restored by moistening the surfaces with water

chrysocoris stollii is a polyphagous species of jewel bugs ( scutelleridae ) common in continental southeast asia .

scutelleridae is a family of true bugs . they are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration of which there are around 450 species worldwide

calcutta ; thacker , spink & co . , w . thacker & co . , 2 creed lane , london , 1909 .

scutelleridae is a family of true bugs . they are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs by afroz jahan prity

jewel bugs are small to medium - sized oval - shaped bugs with a body length averaging at 5 to 20 mm ( 0 . 20 to 0 . 79 in ) . they can easily be distinguished from stink bugs ( pentatomidae ) because the shield - like enlarged last section of their thorax ( known as the scutellum , latin for " little shield " ) completely covers the abdomen and the wings .

despite their resemblance to beetles , jewel bugs are hemipterans or true bugs . the scutellum is an extension of the thorax , unlike the elytra of beetles which are hardened forewings . as such , jewel bugs have four membranous wings underneath the scutellum in contrast to two in beetles . [ 6 ] the scutellum in jewel bugs also does not have a division in the middle and thus does not ' split open ' when they take flight like in beetles .

the heads of jewel bugs are triangular and the antennae have three to five segments . like all heteropterans , jewel bugs are characterized by a segmented beak - like mouthpart ( known as the rostrum ) . during feeding , jewel bugs inject proteolytic enzymes in their saliva into plants , digesting plant matter into a liquid form which they then suck up . the tarsus has three segments ( tarsomeres ) .

iridescence ( or goniochromism ) in jewel bugs like poecilocoris lewisi are the result of structural coloration . instead of pigments , the colors are caused by the interference , diffraction , or scattering of light by numerous tiny structures .

in poecilocoris lewisi , multiple tiny conical protuberances around 900 nm in height and averaging at a diameter of 360 nm are scattered on the epicuticle . these structures affect light passing through them , producing their oily - looking blue sheen ( known as the tyndall effect or mie scattering ) .

in other species like the african shield bug ( calidea panaethiopica ) , the dorsal cuticle is dotted with tiny regularly spaced hemispherical cavities . the depressions act like bragg mirrors . when light hits the pitted surface , it gives off multiple reflections resulting in the distinctive two tone yellow - blue iridescence .

the colors and patterns on jewel bugs can vary significantly between instars and even within adults of a species .

jewel bugs are also known to mimic the colors , patterns , and shape of other organisms for defensive purposes . an example is the yellow - spotted black steganocerus multipunctatus which exhibits müllerian mimicry with the tortoise beetle chiridopsis suffriani .
