1. Danaus plexippus: The Monarch This cool caterpillar is always found on some species of milkweed (Asclepias species). They aren't too hard to spot, with their bright stripes of black, white, and yellow. The milkweed that monarchs feed on is protected by poisonous sap, which in turn ...
About 1,300 species of tardigrades are known to exist, and while the nearly indestructible animals may look cute and cuddly under a microscope, they are actually covered in a hard cuticle similar to many insects. Their unique mouth, known as a bucco pharyngeal apparatus, enables tardigrades to...

Unfortunately, it was not possible to identify shedbera to the species level in absence of the adult moth. Its identity is discussed below, reducing it to few possible species in the genera Lasiocampa, Psilogaster, and Streblote, all belonging to the Lasiocampidae family. The family Lasiocam...

Phenological asynchrony, where interacting species shift their life cycles at differential rates under warming, is emerging as a major threat to trophic networks. For instance, European pied flycatchers (Ficedula hypoleuca) now arrive 10 days later relative to peak caterpillar abundance, resulting in ...
Morphological analysis confirmed the remains of caterpillars in more than half of all faecal samples (51.85%; Table2), with most being found in the droppings ofM. nattereri(57.14% occurrence). As morphological analysis does not allow identification of species, we focused more on molecular confirmati...
the African ant-acaciaVachellia drepanolobium, the dominant tree species in the “black cotton” vertisols of East African savannas. Eighteen species of Lycaenidae, some attended by ants, were documented on these ant-plants at field sites in Kenya and Tanzania over a 5-year period (Fig.1) (...
