Pale green awlet

Pale green awlet

Bibasis gomata

A species of Bibasis

Adorned with lively orange and brown hues across its wings, pale green awlet is remarkable for vigorous flight patterns that outpace many of its fellow Lepidoptera. Its larvae exhibit a distinct preference for the leaves of certain host plants, highlighting a coevolved relationship with its environment. In adulthood, these insects partake in the pollination process, contributing to the health of their habitats.

Life Cycle of Pale green awlet
Egg The development of pale green awlet starts as an egg. Eggs are usually laid on the leaves of the host plant and are small, oval in shape, and light-colored. During this stage, the embryo develops and prepares to hatch into a larva.
Larva Upon hatching, the larval pale green awlet is a caterpillar that primarily focuses on consuming food. The appearance is worm-like, with a segmented body and varying patterns for camouflage. It grows through several molts, called instars, increasing in size each time.
Pupal The caterpillar then forms a pupa. This is a transitional stage, during which the larva encases itself and undergoes a radical transformation. While motionless externally, dramatic changes occur inside, with the structure of the adult pale green awlet forming.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult pale green awlet's development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction and the dispersal of the species.

How and Where Can You Find Pale green awlet at Different Life Stages
Egg Pale green awlet eggs are typically laid on the underside of host plant leaves. To locate them, carefully inspect the specific plants known to be hosts for these eggs.
Larva Pale green awlet larvae, or caterpillars, can be found on or near their host plants. Look for signs of feeding, like chewed leaves, and you may find the larvae close by.
Pupal During the pale green awlet pupal stage, search for chrysalides attached to plant stems or under leaves, often in hidden or camouflaged locations near the larval food plants.
Adult Pale green awlet adults are butterflies that are often observed flying around or resting on flowers, sipping nectar. To attract them, you can plant a butterfly garden with a variety of nectar plants. Observation in natural habitats is best done by walking slowly and looking for adults perched on vegetation or in flight.

Dark palm-dart
Dark palm-dart

The dark palm-dart is a swift-flying organism known for its darting flight pattern, often seen gliding near bamboos, its larval host plant. With compelling agility, adults display an apricot-orange hue on their wings, exhibiting vivid seasonal dimorphism. During the cooler months, they adopt darker, richer colors to absorb sunlight, whereas, in their summer form, lighter tones prevail for heat reflection. This species is a prime study for the relationship between wing coloration and thermoregulation.
