The caterpillars prefer to eat on nettles and are commonly found on mamaki.leaves.
8: The predators of the animal: The kamehameha butterfly is a predator to Koa tree sap and to a variety of flowers.
9: The biome (or ecosystem) of organism: The adult Kamehameha butterflies biome is Koa forests. The caterpillar’s biome is the mamaki plant.
10: The life cycle of the organism: The life cycle of the Kamehameha butterfly is the females lay their eggs on the mamaki leaves. After it becomes a caterpillar it feeds on the mamaki leaves before pupating and transforming into a butterfly.
11: Interesting facts of its life: An interesting fact about the Kamehameha butterfly is that it is only one of the two species of butterfly endemic to Hawaii. Another interesting fact about the kamehameha butterfly is that it was named after the work of a group of 5 graders at Pearl Ridge Elementary school.
12: A brief description of its reproduction activities: So first a butterfly gives lays eggs. Next it will hatch from the egg and become a butterfly. After that it will make a cocoon. After that the cocoon with break and the butterfly will come out. This is reproduction
Hawaii O'o were found in a forest on the big island of Hawaii. They are glossy black with a brown shading at the belly. (The scientific name for the Hawaii O'o is Moho Nobilis)wikipedia.com . They were last heard and seen 1934,and extinct in 1987.(international2016)
The Hawaiian Honeycreeper is a small, passerine bird known to be native in Hawaii, arriving over 5.8 million years ago, their ancestors quickly colonized the area and created their new home, as volcanic islands around hawaii began to appear, the honeycreeper was able to adapt to new areas and began to become more diverse in their diets as their bodies began to evolve. At the time, there was more than 50 species of Hawaiian honeycreepers but as of now only 18 of them remain, 6 of the remaining species are endangered. Hawaii used to be an area with little to no mosquitos, though in the 1800’s when they arrived with lethal viruses such as malaria and pox, this was the first major wipe out for the Honeycreepers that have steadily declined as humans
naturally undergoes metamorphosis, so it keeps its gills and fins and remains larval through adulthood.
To emphasize the butterflies are mentioned six times throughout the whole book. The first time they are mentioned even though they were in war it was actually a beautiful place, “ravines and gorges and fast moving rivers and waterfalls and exotic butterflies and steep cliffs.” I believe he was saying even in all this warfare it is still a beautiful place. The second time it was mentioned is the the chapter “The Man I Killed” where it lands on his chin “there was a butterfly on his chin.” I visualize that this could have two meanings one is
Her true nature.lay quiescent like a pupa inside a chrysalis” (Ratner 187). The description of the butterfly not fully ready to hatch from its chrysalis connects to Mama’s behavior by stating how Mama would hide her and her family’s identity through how she acted and what she chose to wear. This shows how people of major powers cause people to hide their identity. In order to not be caught by the Organization, she must not show the Organization that she is connected to royalty and is
The Monarch Butterfly’s life cycle has four stages, it begins with the egg, the caterpillar, the pupa, and then it emerges into an Adult butterfly.The female adult monarch butterfly mates with a male butterfly, and later lays its eggs specifically on a milkweed plant. After the eggs hatch, they turn into larva. The larva then spins a silky mat which turns into a chrysalis. Finally, the larva merges into an adult monarch butterfly.

Ecology is the branch of biology that studies the interactions of organisms with each other, and with their physical and chemical environments. Another main topic discussed in this chapter is ecosystems. Ecosystems are habitats or areas that consists of two basic components. Ecosystems include such things as biotic and abiotic components. Biotic components are living organisms within an ecosystem and abiotic components are things like sunlight, temperature, and rainfall. Within an ecosystem are producer and autotrophs. Producers and autotrophs consist of plants, algae, and bacteria. These two organisms obtain food from inorganic materials and light energy. As to where consumer and heterotrophs obtain energy by eating plants or the animals that eat the plants. An ecosystem is made up of several different parts. Each part of an ecosystem is different from the other. None of these parts within the ecosystem rely on the other. They are all interdependent being either predators or
Today I am going to talk to you about the purple emperor or also known as a butterfly. The purple emperor originates from Mexico, but during the early spring they travel to the northern united states. When they have approached the untied state the female butterfly tries to find a milkweed plant to lay their eggs on. They eat honeydew, animal carcasses, and also the sap from an oak tree. obesely they are the color purple they can also be blue black green and yellow. they have long curled like tongues and brightly colored wings. Their conversation status is threatened
The monarch butterfly, as known as Danaus plexippus, is often called the milkweed butterfly because its larvae eat the milkweed plant. They are also sometimes called "royalty butterflies" because their family name comes from the daughter of Danaus, ruler of Argos. There are many other interesting facts about this butterfly including its anatomy and life cycle, where the butterfly lies on the food chain, the migration from Canada to Mexico, why the butterfly is being threatened, and lastly, what is being done to help the butterfly.
In the article “Migration of the Monarchs” the annual migration of the monarch butterfly is underway. The migration will take place in late October. Monarchs will migrate to such places as Mexico, Northern Florida, and the Caribbean Islands. While on the path of migration, Monarchs will be feasting on flowering plants. The plants include Penta, Milkweed, Zinnia, Lantana, Liatris, and Buddleia. Be on the lookout for the monarchs starting in October.

The Danaus plexxippus, also known as the Monarch butterfly, is spread all throughout North America during various parts of the year. In the summer they can migrate as far north as Canada, and during the winter months they can migrate as far south as Mexico. Because Monarchs cannot withstand low temperatures, they make use of different habitats during summer and cold months. They spend the spring, summer and fall months in various places throughout the United States and Canada, and they overwinter in central Mexico. Monarchs lay their eggs on a species of plant known as a “milkweed.” Because of this, Monarchs can be found wherever there is an abundance of milkweeds. Monarchs are very ecologically important because they provide the service of pollination to many flowers and plants. While it is true the bees are the more prolific pollinators, Monarch butterflies are
First stage of Butterfly Park completed in March 2013. To complete the biodiversity project they work closely with experts of biodiversity, conservation department etc.
Butterflies fill an important role in ecosystems. The order Lepidoptera, which includes moths as well as butterflies, when present in high numbers they indicate a healthy ecosystem with a wide range of invertebrates. They are a natural pest control and pollinator species, contributing to success of other invertebrates. As well as playing a role in food webs. There are 320 species present in Europe, at least 112 are endemic. There are four stages in the butterfly life cycle from egg (ovum), to caterpillar (larva), to chrysalis (pupa) and butterfly (imago), each stage undergoing a complete stage of metamorphosis (Higgins & Riley, 1970).
