The Papuan Snow Flat or Nestus Flat (''Tagiades nestus'') is a butterfly of the Hesperiidae family. It is found on the Australian islands in the Torres Strait and in New Guinea. It's wingspan is about 40 mm. It's larvae feed on ''Dioscorea'' species. The caterpillars nibble pieces out of the margins of the leaves leaving characteristic scalloped edges to the foliage. They live in shelters composed of pairs of such leaves joined with silk. ==Subspecies== *''Tagiades nestus nestus'' *''Tagiades nestus korela'' Mabille, 1891 *''Tagiades nestus sivoa'' Swinhoe, 1904 (New Guinea) 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「Tagiades nestus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
