APEFLY at my butterfly garden
Details
Family: Lycaenidae
Subfamily: Miletinae
Genus: Spalgis
Species: epius epius
Common Name: Apefly
Wingspan: 10-14 mm
The Apefly (Spalgis epius) is a small butterfly found in Asia that belongs to the Lycaenids or Blues family - wingspan about 10-14 mm with dark brown wings above, and a greyish buff underside with dark striations. There is a clearly defined white spot at the cell end of the forewing. It gets its name from the supposed resemblance of its caterpillar to the face of an ape.
Description
This Lycaenid is unique in that its larva stage is carnivorous! The caterpillar feeds on coccids Dactylopius adonideum which is the "mealy bug" of tea planters. The caterpillars of this butterfly like other members of the subfamily Miletinae are entomophagous and are predators of scale insects. The species unlike many other lycaenid butterflies is not myrmecophilous.
Habitat & Habits
The butterfly flies rapidly and erratically. Occasionally, it has a habit of flying rapidly around a bush, and landing to rest persistently on its favourite perch. It is a rare butterfly in Singapore, and probably is missed by most observers due to its small size and relatively drab colors.
Male
Upperside: dull brown, slightly darker towards the apex of the fore wing; also a more or less quadrate whitish spot beyond the apex of the cell on the same wing; in some specimens this spot is slightly diffuse. Underside : pale, silky, brownish-white; fore and hind wings crossed by numerous, very slender, short, sinuous, transverse, dark brown strigae which are outwardly slenderly edged with brownish-white of a shade paler than that of the ground-colour; both wings with an anticiliary dark brown line with on the inner side a similar edging. Fore wing, in addition, with an oval white spot beyond the cell. Cilia of both fore and hind wings of the same shade as the ground-colour of the wings. Antenna, head, thorax and abdomen pale brown, club of antennae ochraceous at apex; beneath : the palpi and thorax brownish-grey, abdomen pale brown.
Female
Upperside: slightly paler brown. Fore wing: the cell and apex darker; a white spot similar to that in the male but larger, beyond the apex of the cell; in most specimens extended diffusely outwards and downwards. Hind wing: similar to that of the male. Underside: precisely as in the male.
