Papilio Demoleus

We review the continuing and extensive spread of Papilio demoleus in south-eastern Turkey and in regions of Turkey and Syria adjacent to the north-eastern Mediterranean. Since the authors documented the arrival of this attractive but potentially destructive papilionid species at coastal areas of Syria in 2019, regular monitoring has confirmed successful overwintering there, as well as in Turkey. As previously indicated, P. demoleus is widely recognized as an invasive pest species in Citrus-growing areas of the world and hence its arrival is of potential economic importance to a region in which citrus is widely grown.

Historical .—Mr. T. W. Wood first called attention to the colourrelation in pupæ (‘Entom. Soc. Proc.,’ 1867, p. xcix), adducing instances of Pieris brassicæ, P. rapæ , Vanessa polychloros , and (erroneously) Papilio machaon . He even suggested that gilded surfaces might probably be found to produce gilded pupæ, but the experiment has never been made until the present investigation. His observations were disputed by many entomologists, but were confirmed by Mr. A. G. Butler and Professor Meldola (‘ Zool. Soc. Proc.,’ 1873). Finally, Mrs. Barber (‘Entom. Soc. Trans.,’ 1874, p. 519) obtained striking results with the pupæ of Papilio nireus (South Africa) which were confirmed by Mr. Boland Trimen, who experimented upon Papilio demoleus .

Form Preference

Abstract1. Freshly emerged imagines of Papilio demoleus kept in a large cage, were offered some circular patterns of different sizes and different degrees of contour, cut out of coloured papers of the standardized Ostwald series. 2. On the coloured patterns, these hungry insects showed a characteristic feeding response: each one approached a pattern in flight, landed on it and unrolled its tongue with which it performed probing and sucking movements on the paper. Such responses on each of the patterns were counted separately. 3. The results clearly show that this insect can distinguish between forms of different sizes, and between forms presenting different degrees of contour. 4. The attractiveness to this insect in the feeding state increases with size of the form and with its compactness. 5. A definite interaction between form preference and colour preference has been established. The tendency of preferring a bigger form to a smaller one and that of preferring a compact form (poor in contour) to a broken one (rich in contour) increases with less and less attractive colours and vice versa. 6. Some experiments have brought out clearly the striking difference in the preference of the degree of contour shown by this insect (a Papilionid) and the Vanessids (ILSE, 1932). They have further provided an experimental proof for the conclusion reached by LEPPIK (1953) on the basis of his field observations that Lepidoptera prefer compact flowers for feeding.
