Butterfly Facts You Must Know.This year I was lucky enough to meet this beautiful butterfly – a bear! I spotted it and froze in place, then I remembered the camera and quickly took a photo.What subspecies I can hardly determine, I am inclined to say that the bear is rural (rural) although it may be Madame Bear .Bears are moths, they are active at night, they often fly in the light of lanterns, and during the day they are inactive and hide in the shade.
The butterfly is so named because its caterpillars are covered with dense clusters of long hairs, which make them look dull, like small cubs. The bright color of the wings suggests that the butterfly is poisonous. The caterpillars are also poisonous to her.
The wingspan can reach 45-55 mm. Forewings black with white, sometimes yellow spots. Hind wings red or orange-yellow. The body of the butterfly is thick, fur, covered with hairs. The belly is red. Antennas are a comb. The paws are short, covered with hairs. Butterfly proboscis is underdeveloped, so it does not feed during its life. The purpose of a bear’s life is to mate and give birth. The caterpillars are black with brown hairs, hairy and very mustache.
Butterfly summer time is June-July. During the season, the bear gives only one generation. A caterpillar-shaped winter bear. Pupation occurs in the spring.
The dwarf butterfly feeds on plantation leaves, dandelions, strawberries, nettles and some poisonous plants (whose venom accumulates in the body of the caterpillar). It can be enjoyed with apples, raspberries or pears, but it does not cause significant damage to cultivated crops.
It lives in humid, lowland, parks, gardens, plains, meadows, river floods. I met for the first time on my page.
Many butterfly butterflies are rare and are listed in the Red Book of Russia and other countries.
Some butterfly species are harmful pests, such as the American white butterfly. It harms about 230 plant species. I hope we never meet her.
I don’t think I was the only one interested in such beauty.
See you soon!
It belongs to the bear family Arctiidae, which numbers 6000 species worldwide. There are about 90 species in Russia. One group of bears is called lichens, they are thinner, faded and not hairy. The second group – real garbage – butterflies with a thick spotted belly and combed antennae. Butterflies are often colored very differently – in black, yellow, red, white. Most bears are a species of twilight night, there are several species that are active during the day.
There is an opinion that the thick “fur” of caterpillars helps them to warm up on cold nights. In any case, the butterflies were called “bears” because of this thick hairline of their caterpillars. Bear warthogs feed on a wide range of host plants, but especially love a variety of plants.
There are pests among bears – for example, the American white butterfly Hyphantria cunea. Young caterpillars of the American white butterfly build a spider’s nest and live together in it. In the afternoon, the caterpillars leave the nest and eat the leaves, and in the evening they return to it and spend the night all together. When they mature, the caterpillars leave their “native nest” and live alone, and then hatch.
Goat caterpillars of Spilarctia imperialis also live in colonies, building a common spider nest. This helps protect against many non-specific predators – not every insect will climb into a dense web. But the terrestrial beetle Parena perforata lives exactly in these nests. More precisely, its larvae live in a nest that feeds quite a bit without leaving the nest of these caterpillars. The only thing that limits the larva is the size of the caterpillar: the small larvae of ground beetles cannot cope with a strong caterpillar and are forced to control small caterpillars.
Ursa Kaya is one of the most common among us, spread from the European part of Russia to Siberia and the Far East. This relatively large butterfly reaches a wingspan of 80 mm. Butterflies are found in July and August, their wings are differently colored, but most often brown, with a yellow-white pattern – a good example of color dissection. The hind wings and belly are brick red with shiny black spots. The alarmed bear immediately opens its “camouflage” on the front wings, showing black or blue eye spots on the red hind wings and immediately expels the toxin from the glands located in the abdomen, affected by the red edge. Caterpillars, like most bears, feed on grasses, and also bears, mountain ash, willow can eat raspberries and apples.
Many butterflies (including eggs) are known to hear well. Between the chest and abdomen, bear moths have a tympanic organ that hears ultrasound in the range of 3-100 kHz. Thanks to this organ, the butterfly hears the ultrasonic cry of a bat that accompanies it. He then performs an anti-ship maneuver, falls by turning, sits and waits until the danger passes.
Bears are known as the “talkative” family of butterflies. Indeed, many of them make different sounds. At the same time, some bears have a perfect sound apparatus (like a cicada): the timbal plates, abruptly returning to their places after the muscles change curvature, create a loud sound. The bear butterfly determines the location of the bat, it can communicate with other individuals of its species. Some bears can emit sound with the help of special “castanets”, which are thick chitinous plates on the edges of the hind wings. When the wings are reduced, the plates hit each other and click. Moreover, the camera under the combined wings serves as a resonator, amplifying the sound.
Some bears were not satisfied with passive sound protection (avoiding encounters with bats), but they also went on the offensive: Cycnia tenera emits strong ultrasonic clicks (“clicks”) that prevent bats from finding them. Other bears are inedible to bats. And to reduce the number of mutually unpleasant conflicts, the diver, in response to the bat’s “hunting howl”, emits identification ultrasound signals that allow them to distinguish themselves from other edible butterflies – something like “I’m completely inedible and you know it.” This signal is “read” by the stick as a sign of inedibility of the object.
It is less well known that butterfly caterpillars are also heard, and this suits them. Many wasps, like ammophiles, prey on butterfly caterpillars to feed their larvae. So, they follow the smell of caterpillars – they “sniff” the caterpillar along the path in the grassy forest. The caterpillar hears a wasp: it notices its buzzing and hiding – it freezes or falls from the grass. True, she is able to hear a maximum of ten centimeters, but sometimes it also saves the life of the caterpillar – but how come the winged hunter has not yet seen the body of the fat caterpillar still wandering between the stems?
Most species of this family are unusually colorful and beautifully colored. There is almost no halftone – the combination of black, white, yellow, red spots and stripes gives these butterflies a unique look. Butterflies are usually medium in size or large. They are nocturnal, although some species are active during the day. In most species, the caterpillars are covered with thick fur-like hairs, which may explain the name of the family. The caterpillars feed on almost all types of herbaceous plants. Pupation often in a loose cocoon. Three species of Crimean bears are listed in the Red Book of the USSR (1984). One species, the American white butterfly, is a dangerous pest.

Three specimens of this species from the Crimea are kept in the collection of the Zoological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Leningrad. Butterflies were caught in the area of the Angar Pass and on Mount Agarmysh (dates unknown). The above materials probably served as a real basis for mentioning the species for the Crimea (“List of harmful insects of the USSR and neighboring countries”, 1932; Gornostaev, 1970). In 1988, V. Sinyaev collected 12 specimens of the Kaya bear in the Crimea: “Ai-Petrinskaya Yayla, At-Bash into the world of 10 males, 1 female on August 13, 2008.” I “Simeiza district, Mount Koshka, female 08/17/08.”
