Xiaohui Die Division lycaenidae
Antennae small, ordinary white round ring, after the two forelimbs than in the short limb, wing vein with a ten is eleven, 7 and 8 pulse from the pulse from the total, mostly around the eyes are shaped kind of small white scales, more beautiful , larva oval, mast, short legs, almost maggot-like, with a pupa or chrysalis is the pupa hanging, about one hundred and ten kinds of products of the island around.
"Xiaohui Die Science" Xiaohui Die in the Butterfly be small in size, Taiwan's butterfly species accounted for about 25% *
Thing in common:
1 life cycle is the larvae by the eggs ─ ─ ─ pupa adult four stages are complete metamorphosis of insects
2 adults with two pairs of large wings, and covered with scales
3 adults can receive most of the volume of the siphon with mouthparts
4 antennae were clavate, the majority of the next one or two wings at the end-to-tail protrusion, there is some eye pattern around the end of conflict
Host plants: the green just Fagaceae oak, round fruit oak, oak cone fruit.
Nectar plants: adult smoking Fagaceae sap or nectar.
Taiwan Distribution: Taiwan Central Mountain Range surrounding mountains, 1000-2000 m above sea level around the mountains as its main raw broad-leaved forest habitat.
Egg shape: flat round the central convex surface of the continuous longitudinal ridges covered with clear, there is a depression of the central circular hole fine.

Natural enemies: all kinds of egg parasitic wasps, ticks and other arthropods.
Growth of the number of days: the egg stage is about 240-260 days.
Camouflage to avoid enemies: None
Larvae: Shape: slender body early instar larvae, the body surface have long fine hairs. The longer takes the shape of the final instar larvae spin Chui-shaped, flat-back chest section, slightly oblique cross-sectional shape. Larvae surface long white hairs.
Color: Newly hatched larvae in addition to the beginning of the head, pronotum and anal plate black, the body is gray in color after feeding will be gradually transformed into a reddish brown. Takes the shape of the final instar larvae of dark green, each body segment the back line with a central dark green vertical stripes, vertical stripes, light gray green area on both sides was significant, the central back line both sides of the back line of parts and sub-significant white character type between fine lines extended, and extends to both sides of the valve on the abdominal section line position, the valve side of the body is black.
Size: Body length of final instar larvae of 16-18 mm.
Features:
Growth distribution:
Natural enemies: parasitoids, parasitic flies, small Braconidae, birds, stinkbug, etc.
Growth of the number of days: the larvae grow about 20-25 days, depending on temperature.
Camouflage to avoid enemy: larval host plant leaves close to the body color color, surface pattern resembles the fall of the husk is not fully expanded leaves of the veins or in order to confuse the eyes and ears of a variety of predators.
Pupa shape: oval pupa look close, the latter part of the abdomen on both sides of the body to expand slightly on both sides.
Color: light brown pupae lanes, the majority of the surface scattered small dark brown mottled, pupa chest back side there is a clear light the central area, in the chest and back side there are two obvious dark brown circular markings, abdomen dorsal side of the central body section back There is a clear line of wide dark brown stripes, black lines on both sides of Asia, parts of the back line is also a small point of dark brown stripes, the valve is dark brown.
Size: pupa length of about 10-13mm.
Features:
Growth distribution: the final instar larvae pupate in the ground litter heap.
Natural enemies: Parasitic wasp pupae, wasp, bee and various fungi such as JI.
Growth of the number of days: the pupal stage is about 14-20 days, depending on temperature.
Camouflage to avoid the enemy: the final instar larvae pupate in the ground litter heap.
Adult = shape: the appearance of the adult wing show roughly triangular, wing-shaped cross a little longer. After shape of teardrop-shaped wings, close to the triangle, after the horn parts of the anal fin has a thin tail-like protrusions. Diechi female form is more wide circle.
Colors: male butterflies before and after the wings form the background for the green with a metallic luster, and the outer wing after the wing leading edge, the outer edge, inner edge with a black outline. The background is gray-brown wings belly, front and rear wings outside There is a thin white horizontal parts of the bands, the white appearance of fine lines in the post-anal angle of wing parts as w curved wing in room after room side and the wing near the base of the seventh room with white short-grain, there are obvious black outer wing sub-scales distribution, after the wing between the outer edge to outer edge of the wing sub-room distribution of gray scales, hind wing anal angle orange near an outer ring of black lines and a orange eye spots. Diechi belly color is dark brown female, and male pattern similar to , the background is brown-winged form, in addition to the first wing has a small orange spot 3,4 room, front and rear wings without any other parts of the pattern.
Characteristics: forewings and the ventral side in the room room room after the seventh wing near the base of a white short-grain.
Growth distribution: Taiwan's Central Mountain four weeks the distribution of local mountains, depending on the surrounding environment and adult distribution of distribution of host plants, depending on the distribution of ethnic groups are mainly located in the general elevation of the original broad-leaved forest.
Predators: spiders, praying mantises, frogs, dragonflies, birds and lizards and other predators.
Growth of the number of days: adult life is about 2-3 months.
Camouflage to avoid enemy: no adult behavior to avoid the enemy.
Season: This species is one generation a year, in winter to winter eggs, larvae hatch in spring, after growth in Xia Jiyu, so they can see each summer adult activities only.
Other ecological behavior: adults near the main activities in the host plant, a sufficient number of host plant populations exist, in the vicinity will have a distribution of the butterflies, the adult smoking Fagaceae sap, nectar. After adult emergence will be in the line of mountain hills vicinity, there are areas of male behavior, often see adults occupy prominent canopy branches, chasing after the expulsion of other small butterflies |
