Academic literature on the topic 'Lampides boeticus'

Developmental stages in the life cycle of lycaenid butterfly, Lampides boeticus (Lepidoptera : Lycaenidae) and their association with the host plant (Lupinus nanus) (Fabaceae) were examined both in the laboratory under 29 ± 3ºC temperature with RH 78 ± 2% and field conditions. The oviposition behaviour, incubation and larval‐pupal period of the butterfly and its association with L. nanus were studied. The host plant association and duration of developmental stages were given importance. Duration of life cycle (egg to adult) was 19 ‐ 21 days. Eggs, four larval instars and pupal stages were distinct. Lampides boeticus was found deeply associated with L. nanus to complete its life cycle. This association with host plant was characterized and evidenced by the use of host leaves, flowers, buds and seeds ( pods) both in the larval (11 ‐ 13 days) and pupal (4 ‐ 6 days) stages. The incubation period, different larval instars and pupal stage were found to be associated deeply with the phenological phases of the host plant. Dhaka Univ. J. Biol.

Investigations on management of pod borers [Maruca vitrata (Fabricius), Lampides boeticus (L.)] of yard long bean (Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis (L.) Verdcourt) under field conditions revealed that Spinosad 45 SC followed by Bt formulation 2× 108 cfu/ml and Beauveria bassiana @ 107 spores/ml of water were the most effective treatments in preventing pod borer infestation as well as controlling number of pod borer larvae.

Results are presented of occasional photographic records of butterflies (Lepidoptera, Papilionoidea) made along with studies on the Odonata fauna in 63 localities of four coastal provinces of SW Cambodia (Koh Kong, Preah Sihanouk, Kampot and Kep) in 2010-2018. In total, 151 identified and 15 provisionally identified species are listed; 39 identified species (Troides helena, Graphium agetes, Prioneris philomone, Abisara echerias, Arhopala abseus, A. aedias, A. aida, A. alitaeus, A. atosia, A. avatha, A. bazaloides, A. elopura, Cigaritis lohita, Sinthusa nasaka, Lampides boeticus, Udara selma, Zizeera karsandra, Danaus affinis, Euploea phaenareta, Parantica agleoides, Cyrestis themire, Euthalia malaccana, E. phemius, Discophora timora, Lethe mekara, Badamia exclamationis, Burara harisa, Odina decorata, Tagiades menaka, Ancistroides nigrita, Gangara lebadea, Halpe zola, Hyrtaotis adrastus, Lotongus calathus, Matapa aria, M. sasivarna, Pirdana hyela, Suastus minutus, Thoressa masoni) and 8 provisionally identified species (Poritia cf. erycinoides, Nacaduba cf. pavana, ?Cephrenes acalle, Erionota cf. torus, Halpe cf. hauxvillei, Notocrypta cf. clavata, Potanthus cf. subochraceus, ?Polytremis lubricans) are for the first time reported for Cambodia. These, as well as some other provisionally identified and unidentified species are illustrated. The only not so expected record is a Sondaic species Arhopala athada.

Lampides boeticus is a common butterfly, and the Dolichos lablab is its main host plant. From October to the comming February, the blooming season of Dolichos lablab, the population of L. boeticus in Taichung area remains growing. During June and July in the summer, Crotalaria becomes its host plant, and therefore, the population moves to mountain areas (500~1500 m A.S.L).When L. boeticus was reared in different temperatures, the developmental time was obviously shortened as temperatures increased. At 15℃, the days needed for the completion of development of eggs, larvae, pupae were 9.3, 40.4 and 28.0 days respectively; at 20℃, 7.5, 22.6 and 13.2 days respectively; at 25℃, 6.0, 16.4 and 9.7 days respectively; at 30℃, 5.0, 11.6 and 6.7 days respectively. While at 10℃, eggs would die. If larvae were moved to 10℃, they would develop slowly, eventually die.When 4th instar larvae were fed on 4 different artificial diets, its development time was longer than those fed on natural food. Among them, the diet B2 was most efficient; When reared at 25℃, male L. boeticus took 7.9 and 9.7 days for the development of 4th instar larvae to pupa, and a pupal weighed 60.6 mg; the female required 9.3 and 12.4 days respectively, weighing 68.1mg. Those 4 diets had no evident effect on the longevity of adults. On the condition that when larvae were fed on diet, and then after they became adults, they were fed on only water, the longevity of the male was 5.1 to 5.9 days and that of the female 5.6 to 10.2 days. If adults were fed on 5% honey solution, their longevity was apparently longer than those fed on only water; the longevity of the male was 6.8 to 7.7 days and that of the female 15.1 to 17.1 days. The intake of the different diets during the 4thlarvae stage did not influence the numbers of eggs in ovaries. The numbers of eggs were determined by the nutrition that adults took and their longevity. The longer they lived and more nutritious their diets were, the female had 9.8 to 14.0 developed eggs. However, If they were fed on 5% honey solution everyday, the numbers of eggs totaled 17.4 to 19.3.After the 4 different diets were storedfor 1 month, fed on Diet B2 had the highest pupation rate, 93.3%, and emergence rate, 93.3%, and the pupae weighed 49.7 mg. When they were stored for 2 months, those fed on them had much lower pupation rate. Diet B3 caused the lowest pupation rate 46.7%, lowest emergence rate 33.3% and the pupae weighed only 42.3 mg.
