Dilipa fenestra

Dilipa fenestra

A species of Dilipa

D. fenestra Leech ( = Apatura chrysus Oberth.) (51c) is a singular species, red-brown being its prevailing ground-colour. In the male the forewing dusted witli blackish in the basal area, there being further a broad black oblique band from the costal margin to the second median branch, behind the band a round spot as in the female, at the hinder angle an elongate spot, anteriorly 2 transparent subapical spots; the distal margin edged with black. Hindwing also margined with black distally, with a median band composed of 6 black spots, the basal and hindmarginal areas grey dusted with black. Underside as in female, ground-colour of the forewing more yellow. West China: Omei-shan, Lufang; in July, very rare. — The second, but essentially different, known species of this genus, D. morgiana Westw., inhabits the mountains of North India and touches the Palaearctic territory only in the North-West (Kashmir). — Nothing is known of the habits.

Life Cycle of Dilipa fenestra
Egg Typically laid in clusters or singly on host plants, eggs of dilipa fenestra are small and may vary in color and shape. Over time, the embryo develops inside, and eventual hatching marks the emergence of the larva.
Larva As larvae, dilipa fenestra undergo several molts, growing larger with each stage. They exhibit voracious feeding habits to accumulate energy for metamorphosis and may show distinct patterns for defense or camouflage.
Pupal The larva of dilipa fenestra forms a chrysalis during the pupal stage, experiencing significant transformation. The pupa is generally immobile and may blend in with the surroundings for protection.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult dilipa fenestra’s development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is utilized for reproduction.

How Can You Attract Dilipa fenestra
Dilipa fenestra can be attracted using bait traps filled with fermented sweet fruits or sugary solutions, as they are drawn to the scent of fermenting and overripe fruits in the wild.

Habitat Preferences of Dilipa fenestra Through Different Life Stages
To find the different stages of dilipa fenestra, careful searching in distinct areas is necessary. The eggs are usually laid on specific host plants, so inspecting the undersides of leaves in regions with such flora is key. Once hatched, the caterpillars can be found on or near their host plants, feeding on the leaves, making dense vegetation a prime location for observation. Following the caterpillar stage, the pupae might be more challenging to locate as they are often hidden away from predators, possibly by being attached to plant stems or concealed under leaves at a certain height. Adults typically inhabit forested areas where they have access to nectar sources and may be observed flying at various heights or basking on sunlit foliage.
Rectangle
When is the Best Time to Observe Dilipa fenestra
The best time to find adult dilipa fenestra is typically in the morning when they tend to be more active and are often found feeding on nectar from flowers.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Dilipa fenestra
Warm and sunny weather with little to no wind is ideal for finding dilipa fenestra as it is when they are most active and likely to be seen flying or basking in the sun to regulate their body temperature.

How and Where Can You Find Dilipa fenestra at Different Life Stages
Egg Dilipa fenestra eggs are laid on host plants and are small, usually found on the underside of leaves. Look for them by carefully inspecting the leaves of known host plants for clusters or single round or oval-shaped eggs that may have distinct color patterns.
Larva Dilipa fenestra larvae, also known as caterpillars, can be found on or near their food plants. Search for them by checking the leaves for signs of feeding, such as chewed edges or frass (caterpillar droppings), and inspect both sides of the leaves for the presence of caterpillars.
Pupal Dilipa fenestra pupae can usually be found hanging from branches or hidden in ground litter close to the food plants. Look for them in sheltered areas where the larvae may have crawled to pupate, such as under leaves, on twigs, or within crevices.
Adult Adult dilipa fenestra can be spotted by walking through habitats where flowering plants are abundant, as they feed on nectar. Look for them resting on flowers or flying around garden areas, particularly during warm and sunny conditions when they are most likely to be active.

Are Dilipa fenestra harmful to humans?

Some larvae of tortoiseshell butterflies feed on milkweed, which is a poisonous plant containing cardiac glycosides, so the larvae are poisonous. Although poisonous, these butterflies will not directly affect humans if not swallowed. Touching the larvae of certain tortoiseshell butterflies may cause a rash.
