''Sarangesa gaerdesi'', the Namibian Elfin, is a butterfly in the Hesperiidae family. It is found in Namibia.〔(Afrotropical Butterflies: Hesperiidae - Subfamily Pyrginae )〕 The habitat consists of dry savanna. The adult wing colouration matches the colour of the leaves of the larval host-plants and adults of both sexes feed from the flowers of these plants. They are possibly on wing year round, but are most common in midsummer. Subspecies ''smithae'' has been recorded from August to October and in late February. The larvae of ssp. ''gaerdesi'' feed on ''Petalidium engleranum'' and the larvae of ssp. ''smithae'' on ''Petalidium variabile''. ==Subspecies== *''Sarangesa gaerdesi gaerdesi'' (northern and central Namibia) *''Sarangesa gaerdesi smithae'' Vári, 1976 (south-central Namibia) 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「Sarangesa gaerdesi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
