Aspidimorpha Furcata
''Aspidimorpha dorsata'', commonly known as golden tortoise beetle or furcated tortoise beetle, is a species of Chrysomelidae, leaf beetle widely distributed in Oriental region from Sri Lanka to South China towards Java, and Borneo. Biology After mating, the adult female lays about 150 eggs over a period of 70 to 80 days. Grub stage is about 8 to 9 days and the pupal stage is about 4 days. The species use many ''Ipomoea'' species as the host plants.

Carl Peter Thunberg
Carl Peter Thunberg, also known as Karl Peter von Thunberg, Carl Pehr Thunberg, or Carl Per Thunberg (11 November 1743 – 8 August 1828), was a Swedish naturalist and an "apostle" of Carl Linnaeus. After studying under Linnaeus at Uppsala University, he spent seven years travelling in southern Africa and Asia, collecting and describing many plants and animals new to European science, and observing local cultures. He has been called "the father of South African botany", "pioneer of Occidental Medicine in Japan", and the "Japanese Linnaeus". Early life Thunberg was born and grew up in Jönköping, Sweden. At the age of 18, he entered Uppsala University where he was taught by Carl Linnaeus, regarded as the "father of modern taxonomy". Thunberg graduated in 1767 after 6 years of studying. To deepen his knowledge in botany, medicine and natural history, he was encouraged by Linnaeus in 1770 to travel to Paris and Amsterdam. In Amsterdam and Leiden Thunberg met the Dutch botanis ...

Ipomoea Hispida
''Ipomoea'' () is the largest genus in the plant family Convolvulaceae, with over 600 species. It is a large and diverse group, with common names including morning glory, water convolvulus or water spinach, sweet potato, bindweed, moonflower, etc. The genus occurs throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world, and comprises annual and perennial herbaceous plants, lianas, shrubs, and small trees; most of the species are twining climbing plants. Their most widespread common name is morning glory, but some species in related genera bear that same common name and some ''Ipomoea'' species are known by different common names. Those formerly separated in ''Calonyction'' (Greek "good" and , , , "night") are called moonflowers. The name ''Ipomoea'' is derived from the Greek , (, ), meaning "woodworm", and (), meaning "resembling". It refers to their twining habit. Uses and ecology Human uses of ''Ipomoea'' include: *Most species have spectacular, colorful ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cassidinae
The Cassidinae (tortoise and leaf-mining beetles) are a subfamily of the leaf beetles, or Chrysomelidae. The antennae arise close to each other and some members have the pronotal and elytral edges extended to the side and covering the legs so as to give them the common name of tortoise beetles. Some members, such as in the tribe Hispini, are notable for the spiny outgrowths to the pronotum and elytra. Description The "cassidoids" have a rounded outline with the edges of the pronotum and elytra expanded, spreading out to cover the legs and head. They are often colourful and metallic, with ornate sculpturing; a few species have the ability to change the colour due to water movements within the translucent cuticle. All members of the subfamily have the mouthparts reduced into a cavity in the head capsule, the legs have four segmented tarsi. The hispoids have larvae that are leaf miners, while the cassidoids feed on the plant surfaces, sometimes covering their bodies with faecal s ...

Ipomoea Violacea
''Ipomoea violacea'' is a perennial species of ''Ipomoea'' that occurs throughout the world with the exception of the European continent. It is most commonly called beach moonflower or sea moonflower as the flowers open at night. Description The corolla of the flower of ''Ipomoea violacea'' is white, distinguishing this species from ''Ipomoea tricolor'', commonly called ''Heavenly Blue''. It is sometimes mistaken for the cultivar ''Pearly Gates'', the corolla of which is also white, probably because of its misleading Latin binomial name, ''Ipomoea violacea'', "violacea" meaning purple. Comparative taxonomies A comparison of the taxonomy of the two plants shows that they belong to different Subgenera, consequently, ''Ipomoea violacea'' should not be used as a synonym for ''Ipomoea tricolor''. In exceptional cases where ''Ipomoea violacea'' has to be used as a synonym of ''Ipomoea tricolor'', one must specify the incorrect usage by using the abbreviation 'Auct.' for ''Auctorum''. ...
