The brush-footed butterfly
Brush-footed butterflies hold the first pair of legs reduced. The family includes fritillaries, admirals, and crows.
Moths and butterflies have scaled wings and a four-stage life: egg, caterpillar, pupa, adult. Most named species are known from a handful of specimens and a type locality.
Range and habitat
Its natural habitats are temperate forests and temperate grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss.
Pins are Wikidata “endemic to” fields. Orange dots, when present, are GBIF occurrence tiles — survey bias included.
Diet
The adult is what most collections hold. The larva — the feeding stage — is often undescribed for the rarest names.
Life history follows the order: complete metamorphosis in moths and beetles, nymphs in grasshoppers and bugs. This page does not invent a host plant that no source named.
In crisis
Named moths and butterflies with a high threat category are often known from a small range and a thin series. Host-plant loss leaves little to recount.
