The Chequered Sedge-skipper or Master's Skipper (''Hesperilla mastersi'') is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria. It was also found in Tasmania, but the small area where its food plant was growing was cleared to provide cattle pasture. It is probably now extinct in Tasmania. The wingspan is about 40 mm. The larvae feed on ''Gahnia melanocarpa'' and ''Gahnia radula''. They constructs a make a shelter joining leaves of their host with silk. They remain in this shelter during the day and come out to feed at night. Pupation takes place within this shelter. ==External links== *(Australian Insects ) *(Australian Faunal Directory ) 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「Hesperilla mastersi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
