Limenitis
''Limenitis'' is a genus of brush-footed butterflies, commonly called the admirals. The sister butterflies ('' Adelpha'') and commander butterflies ('' Moduza'') are sometimes included here. The name ''Limenitis'' is Neo-Latin "of harbours", from Ancient Greek Ancient Greek (, ; ) includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the classical antiquity, ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC.

Limenitis Arthemis
''Limenitis arthemis,'' the red-spotted purple or white admiral, is a North American butterfly species in the cosmopolitan genus ''Limenitis''. It has been studied for its evolution of mimicry, and for the several stable hybrid wing patterns within this type species, nominal species; it is one of the most dramatic examples of hybridization between non-mimetic and mimetic populations. ''L. arthemis'' can be split into two major groups, mainly based on one physical characteristic: the presence of a white band along the wings. Individuals of the northern group, called white admirals, have a conspicuous white band that traverses both the Anatomical terms of location, dorsal and ventral surfaces of the wing, while those of the southern group, called red-spotted purples, lack that trait as they have evolved to mimic the poisonous pipevine swallowtail (''Battus philenor''). Due to hybrid zone, overlap in distribution among the two major groups, intermediates are numerous as Hybrid (biol ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
