Durante los inviernos 2013/2014, 2014/2015 y 2015/2016 y la primera mitad de la primavera que siguió a cada uno de ellos, fue estudiada la fenología de la fase adulta de las mariposas diurnas presentes en el campus de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide, de Sevilla (España). El número de especies observadas a lo largo de esos inviernos (12), la abundancia de cada una de ellas y los cambios en la diversidad fueron analizados. Ejemplares de Artogeia rapae, Vanessa atalanta, Vanessa cardui, Pieris brassicae, Colias crocea, Tomares ballus y Zerynthia rumina fueron observados todos los inviernos. Por último, para todas las especies halladas en este estudio ha sido realizado un estudio comparativo entre el inicio del periodo de vuelo aquí registrado y aquél que aparece recogido en la bibliografía consultada.

Vanessa Atalanta

In the autumn periods of 1994–2001, the migrations of the Red Admiral Vanessa atalanta (L.) were recorded from the Porkkala Bird Tower, 35 km SW of Helsinki, Finland. By far the best year was 1998, when 1240 migrant V. atalanta were counted. Generalized to a 100-km strip, this would mean a minimum of half a million butterflies. Radar observations indicated that a large proportion may have migrated above the visible range. The migrations took place on sunny days with cool northern winds (down to +10–13 °C). On warmer days with southern winds, V. atalanta individuals were stationary in the terrain. Other species observed to migrate south in the same way, but in much lower numbers, included Vanessa cardui (L.), Pieris brassicae (L.) and Autographa gamma (L.). These records help to resolve the “evolutionary puzzle” of why migrant butterflies and moths travel to northern latitudes when their offspring have such limited possibilities of returning to the south. Until now, the only butterfly for which high-elevation return migrations in northern winds have been known has been the American Monarch Danaus plexippus (L.). The mechanics of the flights, the migratory behaviour and their evolutionary significance are discussed in light of the literature.

Tea Plants

Tea plants are visited by different types of insects including tea pests and pollinator. The objective of the study was to identify tea associated insects in National Tea Research Institute (NTRI), Mansehra, Pakistan during April-June 2012. A collection of tea associated insects was made during April-June 2012 in Tea Experimental Garden (TEG), NTRI, Mansehra, Pakistan. A total of 128 samples were collected from TEG randomly. During the present research, 10 species were identified. Species collected were brush-footed butterfly, Argynnis hyperbius (Linnaeus, 1763); painted lady, Vanessa cardui (Linnaeus, 1758), Lucerne butterfly, Colias electo (Linnaeus, 1763)( Nymphalidae); small cabbage white butterfly, Pieris rapae (Linnaeus, 1758), white cabbage butterfly, Pieris brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758)( Pieridae); Asiatic honey bee, Apis cerana Fabricius, 1793, Western honey bee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758(Apidae); seven-spot ladybird Coccinella septempunctata (Linnaeus, 1758)( Coccinellidae); blue marsh hawk Orthetrum glaucum (Brauer, 1865), Crimson-tailed marsh hawk, Orthetrum pruinosum neglectum (Rambur, 1842)( Libellulidae). Different numbers of individuals were collected of each species. Seventeen individuals of P. brassicae, 16 of C. septempunctata, 15 of P. rapae, 14 of C. electo, 13 of V. cardui and A. cerana, 10 of A. mellifera, 9 of O. pruinosum neglectum and 7 of O. glaucum.It is concluded that there is a diversity to explain tea associated insects in NTRI, Mansehra, Pakistan.
