Spialia Spio

	Spialia Spio ''Spialia spio'', the mountain sandman or Spio grizzled skipper, is a butterfly of the family Hesperiidae. It is found in tropical Africa and south-western Arabia. In South Africa it is found all over the eastern side of the country. The wingspan is 22–29 mm for males and 28–31 mm for females. Adults are on wing year-round in warmer areas. In South Africa it is more common in warmer months. In cooler areas adults are on wing from August to April. The larvae feed on ''Lavatera arborea'', ''Hibiscus'' (including '' Hibiscus aethiopicus'', '' Hibiscus gossypinus'' and ''Hibiscus pusillus''), '' Sida'', '' Pavonia'' (including ''Pavonia burchellii'', '' Pavonia macrophylla'' and ''Pavonia columella''), ''Triumfetta'' and ''Hermannia'' species (including ''Hermannia diffusa'', ''Hermannia incana'', ''Hermannia comosa'', ''Hermannia coccocarpa'', ''Hermannia candicans'', ''Hermannia pilosula'', ''Hermannia pallius'', ''Hermannia pollens'' and ''Hermannia cuneifolia '' ...

picture info	Carl Linnaeus Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he continued to coll ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Butterflies Described In 1764 Butterflies are insects in the macrolepidopteran clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea, which contains at least one former group, the skippers (formerly the superfamily "Hesperioidea"), and the most recent analyses suggest it also contains the moth-butterflies (formerly the superfamily "Hedyloidea"). Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, about 56 million years ago. Butterflies have a four-stage life cycle, as like most insects they undergo complete metamorphosis. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, and after its wings have expanded and dried, it f ...

	Spialia ''Spialia'' is a genus of skippers in the family Hesperiidae, which are mainly found in Africa and Asia. They are commonly called grizzled skippers or sandmen. As a result of genomic research published in 2020, 3 species of ''Spialia'' were moved to the new genus ''Agyllia'' and 14 species were moved to the new genus ''Ernsta''. Species These species belong to the genus ''Spialia'': * ''Spialia ali'' Oberthür, 1881 * '' Spialia carnea'' (Reverdin, 1927) * ''Spialia diomus'' (Hopffer, 1855) (common sandman) * '' Spialia doris'' (Walker, 1870) (desert grizzled skipper) * ''Spialia ferax'' (Wallengren, 1863) (ferax grizzled skipper) * ''Spialia fetida'' Zhdanko, 1992 * ''Spialia galba'' (Fabricius, 1793) (indian skipper) * '' Spialia geron'' (Watson, 1893) * '' Spialia irida'' Zhdanko, 1993 * ''Spialia lugens'' (Staudinger, 1886) * '' Spialia mafa'' (Trimen, 1870) (mafa sandman) * '' Spialia orbifer'' (Hübner, 1823) (orbed red-underwing skipper) * '' Spialia osthelderi'' (Pfeiffe ...

	Hermannia Cuneifolia ''Hermannia'' is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It comprises at least 65 species with many more species as yet unresolved. The genus commemorates Prof. Paul Hermann (1646-1695), a German professor of botany at Leyden and one of the first collectors to visit the Cape. The genus has a large number of species, each with very limited distribution, but they are generally common and not threatened, with little interest shown in them for horticulture or medicine. Their distribution ranges across Southern Africa, the vast majority of species being endemic. They are also found in Madagascar and in tropical East Africa to North East Africa and Arabia. A single species, ''Hermannia tigrensis'', is found in western, southern and North-East Africa. Three species are found in northern Mexico and adjacent regions of the United States, one species in southern Mexico, and one in Australia. ''Hermannias greatest diversity is found in the Western and Northern ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
