DescriptionTawny Coster - Acraea terpsicore.jpg |
English: DID YOU KNOW!!!
Family: Nymphalidae Subfamily: Heliconiinae Genus Acraea Species: terpsicore Common Name: Tawny Coster Life History: complete Extant in countries: •Thailand •Malaysia •Singapore Hostplants: Passifora suberosa (Corky-stemmed passion flower) Passiflora foetida (Stinking Passionfruit) Tunera ulmifolia (Yellow Alder) Description First discovered in Singapore (Punggol area) in September 2006, the species has since spread to many other parts of Singapore. The butterflies of this subfamily are characterised by a perfectly flat hindwing and by having the cells of both wings closed by tubular veins. Their behaviour is sluggish, and, like the Danainae, they have a leathery body and are tenacious of life. They frequently exhibit Mullerian mimicry and serve as models for Batesian mimics from other families. The Tawny Coster butterfly is found in India and Sri Lanka. It is common all the year round and is equally at home in forest clearings and open country. Though mainly seen at low elevations it has been recorded at heights of up to 7,000 feet (2,100 m) in south India and sometimes in the North. It is plentiful in the pre-monsoon and monsoon period and becomes scarce later on. The butterfly exudes an oily and smelly yellow liquid when handled and is unpalatable to birds and most insects. They are well protected and have a slow and weak flight, frequently visiting flowers. There are no mimics in India. Sexes both look alike with few minor variation. The butterfly breeds on plants of the family Loganiaceae and species of Passiflora many of which contain toxins that are sequestered by the caterpillars. Larva is Cylindrical, slender, with six longitudinal rows of fine branched spines; colour reddish brown with an oily gloss, much paler on the head, second and last segment; an unwholesome The Tawny Coster is a small leathery winged butterfly which is common in grassland and scrub habitats. It has a weak fluttery flight. It is avoided by most insect predators. Upperside tawny. Fore wing: a transverse black spot in cell, and another irregular, oblique and broader at the disco-cellulars. Underside: ground-colour ochraceous yellow or a paler tawny yellow. Fore wing paling to whitish on the apex, with the black markings as on the upper side but somewhat blurred and diffuse. |
