| Description |
Phoebis Argante is large spécie extremly common living from USA South, Mexico , Central América and Carebbean Aréa, Columbia, Péru and Brazil , Uruguay , Paraguay , with 8 subspécies Member of Piéridaé/Colianinaé family Discover by Fabricius 1775 Common Name : Argante Giant Sulphur , Apricot Sulphur Phoebis Argante Argante is living in Brazil , Uruguay, Paraguay Discover by Cramer 1777 Males often gather in huge numbers to imbibe mineralised moisture from river beaches in company with other Coliadinae including Phoebis neocypris, Phoebis sennae, Rhabdodryas trite and Aphrissa statira. These insects often form very tightly packed groups comprising of dozens of individuals. If alarmed the entire group erupts spontaneously, swirling in the air as a seething mass of fluttering yellow wings. When the danger has passed, they cautiously resettle one by one to resume feeding. The paler females are seen less often, and are usually observed in flight, or when nectaring at red flowers such as Lantana and Impatiens. There is no courtship ritual - the females are intercepted in mid-flight and forced to the ground where copulation takes place immediately. |
