I thought this research very interesting and likely to put a few felines among the columbids:

Re: Butterfly classification
Interesting. I’d never heard of the Hedylidae until I read Adrian Hoskins’s recent books. Will study in detail when I’m not on a train.
The link you posted seems to be to the home page. I then searched for ‘butterfly classification’ to reach the article I think you intended.

Re: Butterfly classification
Although a lot of the more detailed terminology goes flying over my head like a Painted Lady heading south, I do find this kind of stuff interesting. I just wish the chart on the right wasn't so low resolution, it would help me get my head around who's who's cousins!

Sorry about the inaccurate link - not too clever with all this modern techno stuff

I also first came across Hedylidae through the latest excellent book by Adrian Hoskins. Must say, they look very 'mothy' to me!
Are there any photographs of the larvae? I can't find any. Fascinating article, none the less.

Re: Butterfly classification
Wow! Who'd be a taxonomist?
Like others, I had never even heard of Hedylidae

Re: Butterfly classification
Thanks James. I can see that the Owls and Morpho's are now part of Satyrinae subfamily which I wasn't aware of before. It's almost a wall worthy diagramButterflysaurus rex wrote:Here you go Paul.bugboy wrote:I just wish the chart on the right wasn't so low resolution, it would help me get my head around who's who's cousins!

Re: Butterfly classification
I'd heard of the Hedylidae before but only by what was written about them on Wikipedea. On there larvae are described as "resembling (probably convergently) those of Apaturinae" and the eggs resemble some Pierids.Tony Moore wrote:Sorry about the inaccurate link - not too clever with all this modern techno stuff.
