The Hewitson's Olivewing (''Nessaea hewitsonii'') is a species of butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is common in a broad range of the Amazon basin including the eastern slopes of the Andes mountain range. It is found in high evergreen tropical forest, semi-deciduous tropical forest, and riverine forest.〔(Neotropical Nymphalidae VII. Revision of Nessaea )〕 The length of the wings is 33–40 mm for males and 36–41 mm for females. The upperside of the males is dark brown, with bright sky blue diagonal bands on the forewings and blue markings on the hindwings. They are fast flyers and fly in an erratic fashion. They may land suddenly on leaves or on the ground if decaying fruit is present. They are also attracted to human perspiration. ==Subspecies== *''Nessaea hewitsonii hewitsonii'' (from Colombia, Ecuador and Peru eastward into the Amazon valley, and south to Rondonia, Brazil) *''Nessaea hewitsonii boliviensis'' Jenkins, 1989 (Bolivia and southern Peru) 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「Nessaea hewitsonii」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
