Luehdorfia japonica of Japan

Japanese Luehdorfia (Luehdorfia japonica) is a species of butterfly in the Parnassinae family of Papilionidae. It is only found in Japan.[3] Yasushi Nawa discovered it in Gifu prefecture in Japan in 1883.[4] Also known as Gifu Butterfly (岐阜蝶 or ギフチョウ, Gifu Cho)  카지노사이트

 

Luehdorfia japonica is univoltine and matures in early spring. The host plant is the wild ginger species of the genus Asarum. The female moth lays eggs in clusters on the new growth of the host plant, and the hatched larvae feed on the leaves in clusters during the early stages. [5] 

 

Japanese entomologists have extensively studied the phylogeography, population dynamics and other aspects of the biology of Luehdorfia japonica, including sphragis activity. This is a post-copulatory plug, which is inserted into a woman's abdomen after intercourse to prevent her from re-coupling. It is found in other Parnassinae and some Acraeini. 카지노
