Le nom de ce papillon vient du dessin du dessous des ailes : réseau de lignes blanches évoquant une carte routière.
Deux générations annuelles, mais d'apparence différente : la printanière est fauve orangée, l'estivale est noire.
La chenille vit sur les orties.

Europe, Greece, Aegean, Cyclades, Naxos, Moutsouna, Enaerios carts, Emery ore (cut from all sides)
Carts and emery ore (smyrigli) of the sky- lift transport system (Enaerios) that took emery ore from the mines of the mountains near Stravolagada to the harbour in Moutsouna where the carts of the sky lift were put on rails and rolled to the loading quay were the ore was loaded in these barges. They would then navigate to a bulk carrier that was, because of its deep draught, anchored somewhere in the bay.
Shot in Moutsouna, at the former and aforementioned transfer point near the loading pier.
The 'Enaerios' transportation system was created in 1928 and operated till 1978. Its statistics: 170 carts, 9 km long, 73 iron pylons with a height from 5 to 43 m. Some 50 workers were needed to operate it. Before the Enaerios, donkeys were used an after the completion of the road network of Naxos in 1978, lorries took over the transport.
Emery is locally known as smyrigly (also named smyrida) and was for many years the main source of wealth of Naxos. It largely consists of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide=Al2O3) and other minerals such as the iron-bearing spinels, hercynite, magnetite, and rutile. The hardness of corundum is second only to diamond. It was used as an abrasive for metals, glass, wood and sandblasting and as a traction enhancer on roads, loading ramps, airport runways and pavements. Nowadays sintered carbide and oxide materials have replaced emery as abrasive, although on a small scale emery is still mined on the island.
This is number 28 of the Cyclades 2011 album and 40 of Adventures in chaos.

La première génération de fin mars à mai.
La première génération Printanière (Levana) de couleurs jaunes à orangées de fin mars à la mi-juin ne ressemble pas à la seconde dite estivale (Prorsa) de juillet août très brune. C'est ce dimorphisme saisonnier et les dessins si particuliers qui ornent les ailes qui nous font regretter de ne pas voir plus souvent "carte géo"
Envergure 28 à 40 mm.
