Butterflies from
Coroico valley, Yungas, elev. 1700 m.
Enero - Febrero 2012 sitio 72

Coroico valley, Yungas, elev.
1700 m.
Grass plains on the north side of
the mountain Uchumachi (2698m.), one can easily
walk to the hotel Esmeralda (1820 m) of the Inca
trails that go to the Cascades de San Juan (1910m.),
the trip takes 2 hours of time when you pass
through several small ravines. On the grassfield
(Punaen), few species butterflies that can handle
the sun at midday. Once you reach the small
ravines are immediately more species butterflies.
Below the ravines of San Juan in between Cruz
Lomas (1725m.) and San Feliz (1732m.) against
Carapata are several ravines there is room to
visit. One can also from the plaza in Coroico
take a taxi to Rio Vagantes (1130m.) Where on the
sandy banks along the river can be seen more
exciting butterflies species. Similar ravine
sites exist in Yolosa and Puente de Tocana.

Coroico dalen, Yungas, elev.
1700 m.
Græsskråningen på
nordsiden af bjerget Uchumachi (2698m.) kan man
nemt gå til fra hotel Esmeralda (1820 m.) af
inca stier der går til Cascades de San Juan (1910m.)
turen tager 2 timers tid hvor man kommer igennem
flere små raviner. På græsskråningen (Punaen)
er der få arter dagsommerfugle der kan klare
middagsheden. Så snart man når til de små
raviner er der straks flere arter dagsommerfugle.
Neden for vandfaldene ved San Juan i mellem Cruz
Lomas (1725m.) og San Feliz (1732m.) mod Carapata
er der flere raviner der er vær at besøge. Man
kan også fra Plazaen i Coroico tage en taxa til
Rio Vagantes (1130m.) Hvor på sandbanker langs
vandløbet kan ses flere spændende
dagsommerfugle arter. Lignende ravine lokaliteter
findes der i Yolosa og Puente de Tocana.

Numberwing or Sorana Eighty-eight, Callicore
sorana ssp. horstii (Mengel, 1916.
Coroico valley to
Yolosa 18/19th january 2012. Photographer; Lars AndersenThere are about 10 species of the
genus Numberwings, Callicore in Bolivia, all of which bear
distinctive and graphic patterns on the underside
hindwings, often resembling numbers or letters of
the alfabet. The uppersides of al species are
black and red/orange bands, some of then with
reflective briliant blue sheen.
The Zigzag Numberwing, Callicore
sorana (Godart,
1824).
Dribution; Peru,
Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.
I know it from
Coroico valley where it is local and hard to find. Zigzag Numberwing are shy and difficult to get
close to, photos of above are taken with Canon 1D
Mark III with the objective Canon 300 mm L4 IS by
25 mm extension tube.

Crackers, Hamadryas
There are 20 members of Crackers, Hamadryas, Biblidinae. Most are found only in Central
and South America, although 8 Crackers have been recorded sporadically in
the southern USA.
The butterflies are
commonly known as Crackers due to the ability of the males
of several species to produce a sound similar to
the crackling of bacon in a frying pan. The sound
is produced as the butterflies take off, and is
made by twanging a pair of spiny rods at the tip
of the abdomen against bristles on the anal
claspers. Only males can produce the sound, but
both sexes can detect it - their wings have tiny
hollow cells covered in membranes that vibrate in
response to sound, and stimulate nerve endings.
The purpose of the sound is not known. It may
possibly deter competing males from occupying the
same territory, or could act as a trigger to
initiate the first response from a female during
courtship.
________________________________
Der findes 20
arter i Hamadryas, Biblidinae kendt som Crackers. Som findes i
Central- og Sydamerika, hvor 8 arter er
registreret sporadisk i det sydlige USA.
Sommerfuglene er
almindeligt kendt som crackers skyldes at
hannerne af flere arter frembringer en lyd
svarende til den knitrende lyd af bacon på en
stegepande som de laver når de letter. Lyden som
hannen laver, produceres af nogle hårde pigge
på enden af bagkrop underside mod børstehårene
på de anale claspers som er et par gribeled som
bruges under parring.
Kun hanner kan producere lyden,
men begge køn kan optage det - deres vinger har bittesmå hule
celler dækket i membraner, der vibrerer som
reaktion på lyde, og stimulere nerveender.
Formålet med lyden er ikke kendt. Det kan
muligvis afskrække konkurrerende hanner fra at
besætte hans territorium, eller kan fungere som
en udløser hos hun til første reaktion under
frieri.

Hermeuptychia
cucullina (Weymer,
1911) And
the similary species Hermeuptychia hermes (Fabricius, 1775) are probably the most
common butterflies in the Andes eastern slopes
from 1000 meters up to 2000 meters. Found on
mountain grassland in Bolivia. |
 
Typhla
Satyr, Oressinoma
typhla (Doubleday,
1849) breeds
in pre-montane rainforest and cloudforest
habitats on both sides of the Andes at elevations
of between about 900 to 2000 metres. The are two
similar species in Oressinoma; typhla above, which is found
from Costa Rica to Bolivia, and sorata above right. |
Sorata
Satyr, Oressinoma
sorata (Salvin
& Godman, 1868) is local widespread in Yungas,
which seems near streams in forested mountain
slopes, or in swampy areas where larvae host
plant grows; Sedges, Cyperaceae species call Nutgrass. Males acting
individually a 2 to 3. along streams and trails,
flying in misty and cloudy weather, go to rest
when the sun is too strong. Its habitats in
Bolivia are about. 900-2200 meters. The spread is
limited to southern Peru and Yungas in Bolivia. |
  
     
Coroico Valley, Yungas, Sitio 70
Enero - Febrero 2012
From Coroico you can drive north on the road in
Coroico valley on to Caranavi, the highlands around Caranavi or to Guarnay or Rurrenabaque which is the
gateway to Amazonas great river system. From
Rurrenabaque you can go on trips to the jungle
nearby "Madidi National Park" or the
Pampas east of the town which is the
most famous tourist attraction. East direction go
to Coripata and Chulemani. West go to Suapi and
Santa Rosa de Quilo Quilo. And last south, you
can drive on the death road over Cumbre to La Paz. On the death road you
wil come to Cascades
de Sacramento Alto. Lars
Andersen d. 22

Fra Coroico kan man køre
videre igennem Coroico dalen mod nord til Caranavi, Guarnay eller Rurrenabaque som
er porten til Amazonas store flodsystem. Fra
Rurrenabaque kan man tage på ture til junglen i
nærheden "Madidi Nationalpark" eller
Pampas/Jungle savannaen øst for byen som er de
mest kendte udflugtsmål. Mod Mod vest kan man
komme til Suapi og Santa Rosa de Quilo Quilo. Mod
syd kører man fra Yolosita til La Paz af en ny
motorvej som åbnede i slutningen af 2006, og den
gamle Yungas Road anvendes nu primært til
cyklister på mtb downhill. Denne bjergtur på
mtb som starter oppe fra Cumbre i 4650 m.h. Og ender i Yolosa i
1190 m.h. kaldes også "the Death Road".
Langs med vejen i 2600 m.h. Ligger de kendte
vandfald Cascades
de Sacramento Alto
og nogle andre spændende raviner hvor jeg flere
gange har fotograferet sommerfugle.

The world's most dangerous insect
Bullet Ant, Paraponera clavata

Bullet Ant, Paraponera clavata. Suapi 1400 m.h.
d. 7
February 2012. Photographer; Lars Andersen
Bullet Ant, Paraponera clavata is a species of ant named after
its most powerful and potent sting in the world!
It inhabits humid lowland rainforest to mountain
rainforest from Nicaragua to Paraguay in America.
The bullet ant is called "hormiga
veinticuatro" by
the locals, referring to the 24 hours of burning
pain that follow after being stung.
The pain is
indescribable, the nerves become paralyzed as one
arm hanging slack down for over a day, so you
think you lose your arm? I have tried in Coroico,
Bolivia back in January 2005, a pain I never forget!
And I have
the following year in Bolivia, entered into a
Bullet Ant sticking me in the ankle, so I
immediately writhed myself around in pain
afterwards, so it is becoming crazy! You must
have had a good physical strength to endure this
pain, children and elderly people can actually
die after being stung by this devil.
