''Adelpha boreas'', the Gaudy Sister or Solitary Sister, is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It was described by Butler in 1866. It is found from Costa Rica to Bolivia. The habitat consists of primary and disturbed rainforests and cloudforests at altitudes between 200 to 1,200 meters. The wingspan is about 47 mm.〔(Parque Nacional Sangay (Ecuador) )〕 Adults have been observed imbibing moisture from damp ground. The larvae feed on ''Satyria'' species. Young larvae feed on the leaf tips, constructing a chain of frass along the midrib. Full-grown larvae have the appearance of a mossy twig.〔(Adelpha boreas in learnaboutbutterflies )〕 ==Subspecies== *''Adelpha boreas boreas'' (Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia) *''Adelpha boreas kayei'' Hall, 1939 (Guyana) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adelpha boreas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
