@macroglossumstellatarum5932 6 месяцев назад

When talking about ancient butterflies, I can't help but mention the Kalligrammatids! An extinct order of lacewings that convergently evolved into butterfly-like shapes during the Jurassic, long before true butterflies were a thing. Scaly wings, eyespots and all. They were likely specialised in pollinating Bennettitales, though people aren't quite sure. Went extinct during the K-T, as usual.

@vaclavkodousek804 6 месяцев назад

Fabaceae (legumes) is one of the most diverse and abundant family of plants today. I would also say that they are still very often pollinated by butterflies (in my own yet unpublished research, I am certain that legumes will comprise of almost half of the studied plants that were visited by butterflies). They are also important for their relationship with bacteria (like Rhizobium) that fix nitrogen from the atmosphere -> and eventually it is added to the soil where it becomes available for other plants.

@erikjohnson9223 6 месяцев назад

There are diurnal moths. The Bella moth which eats Crotalaria is one, as are several of the wasp mimics.

@FYCH45 6 месяцев назад

There is also the family Hedylidae. These are nocturnal, and don't look like butterflies, but phylogenomic studies have shown that they are butterflies. On the other hand there is the family Castniidae. These are diurnal, and look very butterfly-like, being quite bright-coloured, and even having clubbed antennae. They used to be suggested to be the non-butterfly lepidopteran family closest to butterflies, and some even classified them as butterflies. However studies have shown that they are not closely related to butterflies, their similarity being due to "convergent" evolution. There are also several other groups of moths which contain species which are diurnal and brightly coloured, such as the Zygaenidae (Burnet moths), and the sub-family Arctiinae (Tiger moths, family Erebidae). I remember as a small boy seeing numbers of Cinnabar moths, and thinking they were butterflies, before a book informed me that they weren't.

@anthonyhiggins7409 6 месяцев назад

This is what I came here to say. I think it’s a bit more complex than just copying the colours of flowers for camouflage though because I think there are butterflies that have a pattern that resembles a big eye - presumably to intimidate potential predators. The sheer variety of the colours and patterns is fascinating though (as well as aesthetically pleasing obviously)
