Percnodaimon
Black Mountain Ringlet, (''Percnodaimon merula'') is an endemic species of butterfly to New Zealand. The Māori name is ''pepe pouri'', which means ''dark moth''. It is of the family Nymphalidae and subfamily Satyrinae and the tribe Satyrini.
==Description==
The species is considered to live about a year in its adult stage, but since the larvae can take 2-3 summers to grow to full size there is a possibility that it can live up to 4. 〔("nzButterfly" ). Retrieved February 25, 2015.〕 It is thought that the extra growth duration is necessary for development required to inhabit the extreme climate and conditions of New Zealand's Southern Alps, in which they are found. They are known to be found at altitudes ranging from 800 to 2500 meters high.〔("Tepapa" ). Retrieved February 25, 2015.〕
The morphology of the butterfly also plays an important physiological role. The dark colour of its wings coupled with its large surface area acts as a black body, and absorbs the electromagnetic energy from the sun's rays. By absorbing and storing heat, the wings of the Black Mountain Ringlet butterfly essentially act like solar panels. This is another adaptation evolved for survival in the frosty conditions of the Southern Alps.
