Description
Unlike the delicate flutter commonly associated with butterflies, Thymelicus demonstrates a more robust and speedy movement that can be likened to a 'skip' across air currents. These agile fliers possess a unique structural adaptation: their antennae hook slightly inward, rather than forming a club shape, which is prevalent in typical butterflies. This adaptation is crucial for their rapid navigation.
