Jalmenus Evagoras
''Jalmenus evagoras,'' the imperial hairstreak, imperial blue, or common imperial blue, is a small, metallic blue butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is commonly found in eastern coastal regions of Australia. This species is notable for its unique mutualism with ants of the genus ''Iridomyrmex.'' The ants provide protection for juveniles and cues for adult mating behavior. They are compensated with food secreted from ''J. evagoras'' larvae. The ants greatly enhance the survival and reproductive success of the butterflies. ''J. evagoras'' lives and feeds on ''Acacia'' plants, so butterfly populations are localized to areas with preferred species of both host plants and ants. Description The wings of ''Jalmenus evagoras'' are metallic blue outlined with black. The hindwings have tails and orange spots towards the bottom. On the ventral side, wings are buff-colored with black streaks and orange hindwing spots similar to the dorsal side. The butterfly has a maximum wingspan of ...
