distinction from s . semiluna as a distinct species from s . fuliginosa is debated , and needs further study in potential areas of contact . s . semiluna is distinguished by the presence ( sometimes faint ) of a " stigma " or " sex brand " on the upper front wing of the males ( lacking in s . fuliginosum ) , and by distribution . zone of contact should be near the east base of the sierra nevada and northward across southwestern oregon .

this subspecies is a little smaller and grayer than nominate fuliginosum , and the male has a stigma . it occurs widely in the central and southern sierra and in the northern great basin . there is at least one population in siera valley which , however , has only been found once at our study site . males perch atop sagebrush in the midst of shrub - steppe . both sexes can be found far from any blooming nectar sources , but they do visit yarrow , brassicaceae ( e . g . cardaria pubescens ) and sulphur flower ( eriogonum umbellatum ) .

no tails . upperside drab dark gray . underside gray to grayish brown ; forewing with a line of white - bordered dark spots which may be lacking .

males patrol and occasionally perch to seek receptive females . females lay eggs singly on host plant or at its base in litter .

local within its range . british columbia south to central california , east to wyoming and northern colorado .

g4 - apparently secure globally , though it might be quite rare in parts of its range , especially at the periphery .

tailless , dorsal drab gray , underwing grayish to brown , with the fw usually having a line of dark dots circled in white , and the hw can have some whitish dots .

similar species of blues in genus plebejus will usually show at least some blue scaling above , even in females ( none in sooty hairstreaks ) ; they will have a white fringe ( dull grayish in sooty hairstreaks ) ; and , the front wing will have a very strong black bar at the end of the discal cell ( often there is a second black spot in the middle of the cell as well ) , while this spot is absent to weak and usually not black in sooty hairstreaks . the pattern of the lower side will usually have a " smoother " look in blues , and will look dirty or " sooty " in the hairstreaks . also , the sooty hairstreaks will most often have the dark postmedian spots dull in color ( sometimes only faint ) , while in the blues they are usually bold and black . fresh individuals are much easier to identify than faded worn specimens .

this is interpreted as the entity occurring on castle peak and on a tiny area of donner pass . it is larger and darker than subspecies semiluna , and the males lack a stigma . males perch territorially , often on the matted ecotype of bitterbrush ( purshia ) growing along the ridgetop between basin and castle peaks . females walk a lot . both sexes often visit mule ' s ears ( wyethia mollis ) flowers , as well as sulphur flower ( eriogonum umbellatum ) . one flight in the second half of the alpine season , generally july - september . at donner often in june , and disappearing quickly ( presumably because the colony is so small ) . host plants , perennial species of lupinus , including l . arbustus and l . albicaulis .

species - tailless and sooty gray , matching the sooty gray volcanic landscape . they ' re quite common above timberline lodge at mount hood , where their caterpillar host plants , lupines

, which has a more prominent blackish cell - end bar on the forewing and a whitish fringe .

a worn boisduval ' s would look quite similar to a worn sooty , but even a worn boisduval ' s would show a trace of blue above , which sooty lacks .

another thing i ' ve noticed from looking at my photos at high resolution is that the top side of antennal club tips of sooty hairstreak are tan to orange - brown , while those of boisduval ' s blue are white ( though the underside of the antennal clubs can be orangish ) . if this is consistent and still true for very worn individuals , it might help id some tricky individuals .

the taxonomic status of various populations of sooty hairstreak is confusing . the high - elevation population of

photographed here flies in late summer , but nearby is a middle - elevation population that flies in may . the sagebrush sooty hairstreak

was recently elevated to species status . it differs subtly in wing shape and structure from

completely lack . the stigma is on the upper surface of the forewing , so you can ' t see it these photos . andy warren discusses the differences in detail in his 2005 book " butterflies of oregon : their taxonomy , distribution , and biology .

sagebrush sooty hairstreak and square - spotted blue habitat above timberline lodge on mt . hood , clackamas co . , or 8 / 7 / 06 .

diagnosis : the small ( wingspan : 24 to 30 mm ) , rounded wings of this drab species are sooty brown on the upper surface and grey to brown , with tiny black white - rimmed spots , on the underside . it looks very much like a female blue .

, which has the spots on the underside better developed , has been found in southwestern alberta .

range : the sooty hairstreak has a spotty distribution in the western u . s . it occurs in canada at osoyoos and keremeos in british columbia , and there is an old record from waterton lakes in alberta .

) , which has whiter fringes and has a black discal spot in the centre of the forewing below , and often above as well .

abundance : the sooty hairstreak is uncommon to rare in most of its range .

habits : the sooty hairstreak is always found near lupines , often in sagebrush areas at middle altitudes in the mountains . it should be looked for in fields , meadows , and along roadsides where lupines grow .

remarks : despite its blue - like appearance , foodplant use , and patrolling behaviour , this species is definitely a hairstreak . the reasons for this convergence are unknown , although the fact that the larvae of boisduval ' s blue , like those of many blues , are tended and protected by ants may be a clue .

pieridae ( 22 species ) duponchel 1832 . ( whites , orangetips , & sulfurs )

butterflies comprise one of the major subdivisions of the insect order lepidoptera . approximately one hundred and twenty species of butterfly and several additional subspecies have been recorded , mostly by amateur observers , in lake and klamath counties , oregon . these insects , well known for the beauty they lend to warm summer days , are also an integral part of the ecosystems they inhabit . many pollinate plants and serve as food sources for birds . recent work has shown that the health of native ecosystems can be be monitored by the abundance and distribution of these insects . recording the species from a geographic area can provide a baseline from which to judge the effects of changes over time that may be occuring .

the checklist that follows is an attempt to provide an approximation of the number and kind of species occuring at the present time in this area . anyone who sights a species not on the below list is invited to report their observation to the forest ecologist , robert wooley at 541 - 576 - 7564 . to see a full size photo of the butterflies below click on the image .

the branded skipper is one of the most common butterflies in the great basin sagelands and the pine forests of the cascades . it nectars frequently at flowers in the asteraceae or sunflower family .

becker ' s white is frequently observed nectaring on thistles and other members of the sunflower family .

a common skipper emerging in late july and august frequently visiting rabbitbrush . this skipper lays its eggs on desert saltgrass a species of alkaline flats .

egg of sandhill skipper on desert saltgrass . observing where butterflies lay their eggs can be a challenging photographic pursuit requiring both physical agility and acute observation skills . information gleaned from making these observations can be very valuable to the conservation of both the insects and plants they interact with .

a male sonora skipper ( on left ) courting a female . male skippers establish territories they patrol . when a female enters their territory courtship ensues with the male displaying and attempting to win the females attention .

telling skippers apart requires a fine sense of observing details . the juba skipper has longer more pointed wings than the branded skipper and slightly different markings .

there are many species of blue butterflies . telling them apart is often difficult . one of the more easily identified blues is the arrowhead with its distinctive arrowhead shaped white wing marks . the ancient greek word for butterfly is psyche incorporated into the genus name of this species . to the greeks the mysterious metamorphosis that takes place from the ugly caterpillar to the beautiful butterfly was associated with the transformation sometimes seen in the human psyche


elachista adscitella is a moth of the elachistidae family .

it is found in all of europe , except iceland , the balkan peninsula , ukraine and lithuania .

the wingspan is 9 – 11 millimetres ( 0.35 – 0.43 in ) .

adults are pale grey with a whitish head and a white transverse line across the center of the forewing .

they are on wing from may to july and again in august in two generations per year .

the larvae feed on brachypodium sylvaticum , carex elata , calamagrostis arundinacea , deschampsia cespitosa , deschampsia flexuosa , elymus caninus , festuca altissima , festuca drymeja , festuca gigantea , melica nutans , melica uniflora , milium effusum , phleum species , poa chaixii , poa remota , sesleria albicans , sesleria argentea , sesleria caerulea and sesleria sadlerana .

they mine the leaves of their host plant .

the mine consists of a gradually widening corridor .

it may run up - or down-wards .

the frass is deposited in the first part of the mine .

two to three larvae may occupy a single mine and more than one mine may be found in a single leaf .

larvae can be found from october to the end of may and from mid june to the end of july .

larvae of the first generation hibernate inside the mine .

id : group d - forewing dark with a single pale transverse fascia at 1 / 2 > 6 species these 6 species divide into 2 groups of 3 based on the frons being white to ochreous in e . adscitella / obliquella / gangabella and grey - brown or darker or mottled in e . bisulcella / unifasciella / cingillella . in e . obliquella and e . adscitella the terminal cilia are ochreous - white while in e . gangabella the apical cilia are concolorous with the forewing . the key inmbgbi3 separates e . obliquella / adscitella on the basis that in e . adscitella the vertex and neck tufts are ochreous - white while in e . obliquella only the frons is white . however the description of e . obliquella then states " frons ochreous - white , slightly brownish on vertex , neck tufts ochreous but brownish at tips " . there may be a slight difference in the forewing fascia whose margins are " rather ill - defined " in e . obliquella and " sometimes almost obsolete halfway across the wing , with proximal edge more clearly defined than distal " and usually broader in female in e . adscitella . however , genital dissection is needed to confidently separate these two species . female genitalia : the ovipositor including the antral region and the signa are illustrated for all 6 species in mbgbi3 . none of the females are shown at dissection group or on any other website that i could find . 2 species have the signa as two diffuse spiculate patches , as shown by §1 - e . adscitella and e . bisulcella . the illustrations ( fig . 109h & i ) show the signum of e . adscitella as a rectangular patch of mixed small and very small conical spicules with pointed apices and of e . bisulcella as an irregular oval patch of more evenly sized small spicules some of which are conical with pointed or blunt apices , some of which are rectangular with a square end and some of which are doubled as if two of the spicules were fused . the shape of the signa can be seen to be rectangular in the images below and the shape of the spicules as seen under the microscope was as described for e . adscitella . the illustration of the antral region ( fig . 104h ) does show a small sclerotisation at the colliculum as shown by §1 but it does not clearly show the pouch - like antrum or the rounded defect in the ventral surface of the sterigma shown by §1 . ( none of the other illustrations look any more like §1 ) .

i det avancerade verktyget kan man söka ut och få fram artlistor , t ex arter i ett visst län , i en viss biotop , substrat , som påverkas av en hotfaktor , eller som är knutna till en sk värdart , t ex trädet alm . dessa kan även kombineras .

söka fram arter som är rödlistade , knutna till alm , är beroende av död ved och som finns i kronobergs län .

söka fram arter som är rödlistade , lever i småvatten och som påverkas negativt av igenväxning .

defaultläget i verktyget är arter som är rödlistade 2015 och dessa är klassade på samtliga sökfaktorer . under fliken rödlistekategori kan man dock välja att även inkludera arter som inte är rödlistade . om man väljer att inkludera icke rödlistade arter behöver man vara medveten om att samtliga arter inte är klassade på samtliga faktorer . nedan en sammanställning av vad som är komplett .

denna funktion används när du vill skapa din egen lista av arter att hantera . du kan t . ex . navigera mellan arterna i listan genom att klicka på deras namn . du kan också välja att använda knappen ”jämför arter” för att se bilder , kartor och kännetecken i en jämförelsevy .

du kan komponera ditt eget urval av arter genom att klicka dig fram via släktträdet och där välja arter eller artgrupper till din lista . ett annat sätt att göra ditt urval är att använda fliken ”filtrera” , där du kan söka på olika egenskaper . ovanför listan med sökresultatet finns en knapp ”lägg i mitt urval” .

gynnidomorpha permixtana

gynnidomorpha permixtana <EOT> in evaluation the efficacy of common paddy herbicides on control of some weeds in rice research institute of iran ( rrii ) in 2009 , results showed that few germination of arrow head seeds . detailed investigation revealed that the physical damage to seeds was because of shome moth larva feeding . after rearing moth larva in rrii plant protection laboratory , we found that these larvas belonged to tortricidae family . further systematic studied on this moth was conducted in iranian research institute of plant protection ( iripp ) and the moth was distinagueshed as gynnidomorpha permixtana ( denis & schiffermόller , 1775 ) . also this species was reaffirmed in spain . larva ' s recollecting in 2010 from field and insect rearing for five generations shows this moth activity on arrow head and larva feeding on seed and flowers of host plant and confirmed pervious surveys results . also life cycle and type of activity on host plant was studied at this survey . at the other hand due to available resource there aren ' t any published reports of this moth activity on arrowheads from the other countries , so this is the first report of gynnidomorpha permixtana ( lepidptera : tortricidae ) activity on sagittaria sp .

coelacanthopsis is an extinct genus of lobe-finned fish which lived during the carboniferous period .

they are also the closest link between fish and the first amphibian creatures which made the transition from sea to land in the devonian period ( 408-362 million years ago ) .

that such a creature could have existed for so long is nearly incredible , but some say that the cold depths of the west indian ocean at which the coelacanth thrives , and the small number of predators it has , may have helped the species survive eons of change .

the coelacanth was first discovered in 1938 by marjorie courtenay latimer , the curator of a small museum in the port town of east london , as she was visiting a fisherman who would let her search through his boat 's catch for interesting specimens .

ironically , marjorie was only visiting the sea captain to wish him a happy christmas when she first spotted the coelacanth 's oddly shaped , blue-gray fin protruding from beneath a mountain of fish .

marjorie brought back the specimen to the museum where she compared it against images of known species , and ultimately realized what she had was no ordinary fish .

after sending a rough drawing of the fish to professor j.l.b. smith , at rhodes university , grahamstown , who in turn confirmed that the creature she had discovered on the boat 's deck was indeed a prehistoric fish , a coelacanth to be exact .

since then , coelacanth populations have been found near indonesia , south africa , and other unexpected places .

while there have been enough sightings of the creature to indicate that there is more than one area where the species exists , it remains a highly protected and mysterious animal , a living fossil which may , or may not be the only creature from our past which has survived millions of years of evolution .

some place it in the family rhabdodermatidae .
