Lantana is indeed very attractive to butterflies in Asia and New Guinea, that's why I planted some in my French garden.

But in my garden, it seems to have no effect at all on the butterflies I have in the area (Vanessa atalanta, Aglais io, Pieris rapae...).

I have a small lantana which doesn't attract any butterflies BTW... maybe Breton butterflies doesn't like it.

To me, it smells very good, a bit like citrus indeed.

, thank you !

Dear friends,

Last call for the donation 2024 to the InsectNet forum.
Hope some of you will be able to help.

A big thank you to those who have already sent their donation.

I saw that announcement too.
With this kind of month pay, they should better hire locals... even if the mission itself can be interesting.

My recommendations : Kaw Mountain : - Patawa Camp : owned by 2 entomologists. Very good tracks within the forest nearby. Maybe good for you to know them so that they can introduce you people who could help for your Butterfly facility project. - Amazon Nature Lodge : the lodge is better, but no entom...

Hello A good start would be going to Camp Pattawa lodge (in the Kaw Mountain, 2 hours from Cayenne). Camp Pattawa is held by Odette Morvan and Jean-Aimé Cerda, 2 French entomologists who have studied the French Guiana heterocera actively. They host entomologists every months. So it is a good place t...

Wonderful species ! Thanks for sharing !

For the moment, they are still on the spreading board and I don't see much differences, but this abdomen without any clasper.
Satyridae often have nearly no sexual dimorphism so it is not so easy.
I guess a DNA test or a genitalia preparation will be needed to be 100% sure.

Yes, we have a lot of error 500 and error 508...
It can work if you refresh the pages.

Our team is on it, but the software producer (Ilance) seems to have disappeared... so not easy...

Anyone inspired ?

Hello,

Can anyone confidently determine whether this Papuan Satyridae is male or female?
I have the feeling it's a female and if so... that would be new to science for this species.
I am not so used to work on small Satyridae so I'd prefer a confirmation.

Cheers
Olivier

It seems we are back.

Grmpfff the problem seems worst than thought by my tech team... and I am facing a TOTAL non-professionalism from Ilance (the Canadian company who created the marketplace software)... so it will take more time... I keep you all informed.

You can indeed hit the "Donate" button below, no differences.

Thank you !!!

Yes, we had to buy a larger server due to too many pictures uploaded by sellers.
We should be back today or tomorrow.

Thank you very much to all those who have sent their yearly donation !
Good to see you're always here to help !

Very interesting ! Congrats Thierry !

Thank you very much !
