Interesting Facts about Acherontia atropos:
Also known as the death's head moth, Acherontia atropos has been made famous by the movies "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Dracula" and the novel "Death with Interruptions". The distinct skull pattern on the back of the thorax is commonly associated with the supernatural.

This species was first described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus and is named Atropos after one of the three Moirai, goddesses of fate and destiny. The genus Acherontia is named after the river Acheron, which is thought to be a pathway that leads to Hades.

When agitated they make a squeaking sound as a defense mechanism. They are also known to invade beehives and feed on honey with their long tongue or proboscis.

More about Morpho didius:
Morpho didius is one of the largest species of Morpho and one of the most common. The caterpillars feed on palm trees, which are very common in the country of origin, giving the species a wide range of habitat and the larvae an excellent chance of survival.

The blue morpho has been made famous by the movie "Papillon". Historically, the scales from this butterfly have been incorporated into paper money in order to prevent counterfeiting. A prison on Devil's Island, off the coast of French Guyana, famously utilized this technique and had prisoners collecting Morpho butterflies for this purpose in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Interesting Facts about Luna Moths:
Also known as the luna moth, Actias luna are one of the most famous moths in North America. The caterpillars are also green and as a defense mechanism, they click as a warning to potential threats and may sometimes regurgitate intestinal contents, which have a deterrent effect on most predators. The elongated tails of the hindwings are thought to confuse a bat's sense of echolocation, giving the moth ample time to escape.

More about Sunset Moths:
Everyone's favorite butterfly! You may be surprised to learn that this species is actually a moth, even though it flies during the day. In 1773 it was first described as a butterfly with the name Papilio rhipheus, which wasn't proven incorrect for almost 50 years.

The sunset moth caterpillar host plant is toxic, much like the relationship between monarchs and milkweed. These toxins remain inside the caterpillar for the rest of their lives and the bright coloration of the wings warn predators of its toxicity. Also like the monarch, the sunset moth migrates between the eastern and western mountain ranges on the island of Madagascar.

More about Monarch butterflies:
The monarch butterfly is world-famous, one of the longest-lived butterfly species, and one of the most interesting species to study. In the Fall, Northern monarch populations migrate thousands of miles South with a corresponding multi-generational return migration North the next Spring. Southern monarch populations migrate further South to Southern California and Mexico.

The caterpillars feed on milkweed, which is toxic, and the toxic chemicals are retained for the rest of development into adulthood. The bright coloration of the wings warns predators of this toxicity, giving the monarch butterfly a much higher chance of survival than most other butterfly species.

Danaus was a great-grandson of Zeus, a mythical king who founded Argos. Plexippus was one of the 50 sons of Aegyptus, the twin brother of Danaus.

Monarchs are one of very few species that are found worldwide.

In 2009 monarch butterflies were transported in a rocket to the International Space Station.

More about Graphium weiskei:
Graphium weiskei, native to Papua New Guinea, was named after the famous German entomologist and ornithologist Emil Weiske, who traveled the world to procure specimens for his private museum in the late 1800s.

Swallowtail butterflies are large, colorful butterflies that inhabit every continent in the world except for Antarctica. Most are tropical species and there are over 550 different species included in this group.

We have several species of swallowtail here in the United States, and many states have adopted swallowtails as their state butterfly. Papilio machaon oregonius in Oregon, Papilio glaucus in Virginia, Georgia, Delaware, and South Carolina, and Papilio polyxenes in Oklahoma.

Swallowtails have tails on the end of their hindwings, which help them escape predators in the wild. In the hopes that a bird will grab onto their tail, which they don’t need in order to fly, instead of some other part of their wing or body which are more critical for survival, the butterfly has a chance to get away unharmed. The bird “swallows the tail” instead of the butterfly, hence the name “swallowtail”.

Interesting Facts about Papilio blumei:
Also known as the peacock swallowtail, Papilio blumei is native to Indonesia. The iridescent green coloration is not produced by pigments, but is produced by the structure of the scales on the surface of the wing. They refract light and give us blue and yellow reflections, which is perceived by our eyes as being green.

Researchers have taken about 10 years to recreate the surface of a butterfly's wing and have only come up with a simplified replica so far. They hope such technology will help make paper money and credit/debit cards more difficult to forge. Scientists are also using this technology to create solar panels that are more efficient.

Swallowtail butterflies are large, colorful butterflies that inhabit every continent in the world except for Antarctica. Most are tropical species and there are over 550 different species included in this group.

We have several species of swallowtail here in the United States, and many states have adopted swallowtails as their state butterfly. Papilio machaon oregonius in Oregon, Papilio glaucus in Virginia, Georgia, Delaware, and South Carolina, and Papilio polyxenes in Oklahoma.

Swallowtails have tails on the end of their hindwings, which help them escape predators in the wild. In the hopes that a bird will grab onto their tail, which they don’t need in order to fly, instead of some other part of their wing or body which are more critical for survival, the butterfly has a chance to get away unharmed. The bird “swallows the tail” instead of the butterfly, hence the name “swallowtail”.

Interesting Facts about the Morpho:
The blue morpho has been made famous by the movie "Papillon". Historically, the scales from morpho butterflies have been incorporated into paper money in order to prevent counterfeiting. A prison on Devil's Island, off the coast of French Guyana, famously utilized this technique and had prisoners collecting morpho butterflies for this purpose in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Interesting Facts about Monarch butterflies:
The monarch butterfly is world-famous, one of the longest-lived butterfly species, and one of the most interesting species to study. In the Fall, Northern monarch populations migrate thousands of miles South with a corresponding multi-generational return migration North the next Spring. Southern monarch populations migrate further South to Southern California and Mexico.

The caterpillars feed on milkweed, which is toxic, and the toxic chemicals are retained for the rest of development into adulthood. The bright coloration of the wings warns predators of this toxicity, giving the monarch butterfly a much higher chance of survival than most other butterfly species.

Danaus was a great-grandson of Zeus, a mythical king who founded Argos. Plexippus was one of the 50 sons of Aegyptus, the twin brother of Danaus.

Monarchs are one of very few species that are found worldwide.

In 2009 monarch butterflies were transported in a rocket to the International Space Station.

Interesting Facts about Sunset Moths:
Everyone’s favorite butterfly! You may be surprised to learn that this species is actually a moth, even though it flies during the day. In 1773 it was first described as a butterfly with the name Papilio rhipheus, which wasn’t proven incorrect for almost 50 years.

The sunset moth caterpillar host plant is toxic, much like the relationship between monarchs and milkweed. These toxins remain inside the caterpillar for the rest of their lives and the bright coloration of the wings warn predators of its toxicity. Also like the monarch, the sunset moth migrates between the eastern and western mountain ranges on the island of Madagascar.

Interesting Facts about Graphium androcles:
Also known as the “giant swordtail butterfly” from Indonesia, Graphium androcles has the longest tails of any swallowtail species.

Swallowtail butterflies are large, colorful butterflies that inhabit every continent in the world except for Antarctica. Most are tropical species and there are over 550 different species included in this group.

We have several species of swallowtail here in the United States, and many states have adopted swallowtails as their state butterfly. Papilio machaon oregonius in Oregon, Papilio glaucus in Virginia, Georgia, Delaware, and South Carolina, and Papilio polyxenes in Oklahoma.

Swallowtails have tails on the end of their hindwings, which help them escape predators in the wild. In the hopes that a bird will grab onto their tail, which they don't need in order to fly, instead of some other part of their wing or body which are more critical for survival, the butterfly has a chance to get away unharmed. The bird "swallows the tail" instead of the butterfly, hence the name "swallowtail".

Interesting Facts about Acherontia lachesis:
Also known as the death's head moth, Acherontia lachesis has been made famous by the movies "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Dracula" and the novel "Death with Interruptions". The distinct skull pattern on the back of the thorax is commonly associated with the supernatural.

The genus Acherontia is named after the river Acheron, which is thought to be a pathway that leads to Hades.

When agitated they make a squeaking sound as a defense mechanism. They are also known to invade beehives and feed on honey with their long tongue or proboscis.
