中文名 琉球紫蛺蝶
英文名 Common Eggfly, Great Eggfly, Varied Eggfly
學名 Hypolimnas bolina kezia
別名:幻紫斑蛺蝶、幻蛺蝶
蛺蝶科(Nymphalidae )
分類: 昆蟲綱、鱗翅目、蛺蝶科、蛺蝶亞科、蛺蝶族;幻蛺蝶屬
棲息地: 台灣地區廣泛分布平地、中海拔山區,以低海拔地區為主。
廣泛分布於衣索比亞界、古北界、東洋界至澳新界,包括非洲,印度、中南半島、中國南部、東南亞至澳洲及西太平洋一帶島嶼。蜜源植物 馬纓丹、繁星花、金露花、澤蘭、馬利筋花蜜及多種菊科野花在溼地則以臭娘子最受他喜愛
中型蛺蝶。軀體黑褐色,腹側散布有白點。前翅翅端圓弧形。後翅近圓形,外緣略鋸齒狀。翅背面底色黑褐色,雄蝶於前翅外側有一藍紫色斜帶,內有白紋,翅端有小白紋,後翅中央有一藍紫色圓斑,內亦有白紋。雌蝶背面斑紋依不同型而異,有具藍紫色光澤、白斑或紅斑者。翅腹面底色褐色,通常沿外緣有白紋,內側有白色點列,前翅外側常有一斜白帶。後翅中央也常有一白帶。緣毛黑白相間。。外型擬態模仿有毒的蝶種幻紫斑蝶,使天敵難以分辨而避免捕食。成蟲全年可見,一年多代。,濕季數量較多。出沒於海拔0-2000米地區的常綠闊葉林、海岸林、鄉郊農地和花園,傾向潮濕、遮蔭和附近地面有訪花性,亦會吸食腐果、樹液。
大多數的蛺蝶科蝴蝶有高度領域行為,雄蝶在有成蝶食物或幼蟲食草附近,會找個視線良好的制高點,守候等待雌蝶出現,遇到同種雄蝶即上前驅趕,琉球紫蛺蝶算是其中領域行為最強烈的蝶種之一,曾經有人看到雄蝶在追逐比它大型的蝴蝶,
蛺蝶科(Nymphalidae )是蝶類中最大的一科,全世界有3400多種。屬小型至中型的蝶種,少數為大型種。色彩豐富,形態各異,花紋相當複雜。極少數種模擬斑蝶。蛺蝶科成蟲的下唇須特別粗壯;觸角長且端部明顯加粗呈錘狀;複眼裸出或有毛;部分種類的中胸特別粗壯發達;翅形豐富多變,屬間的差別較大。特徵為前足退化,縮在胸下,無作用,又稱四足蝶是因它們只有4條具有機能(或能行走)的腿。其中的許多個物種都有著亮麗的顏色,並包含如帝王蛾、赤蛺蝶、黃褐蛺蝶和豹斑蝶等受歡迎的物種。但其翅膀腹面暗淡,且有些物種看起來會像是枯葉一般,或者更為蒼白,以產生一種可以幫助蝴蝶從環境中消失的避敵效用。

Habitat Taiwan is widely distributed in flat and mid-latitude mountainous areas, mainly in low-altitude areas.It is widely distributed in the Ethiopian, Palaearctic, Eastern, and New Territories, including Africa, India, Indochina, southern China, Southeast Asia to Australia and islands in the Western Pacific. Nectar plants Lantana, Starflower, Golden Dew, Eupatorium, Milkweed nectar, and many kinds of Compositae, In the wetland, the Premna serratifolia is most loved by him.
Medium-sized Nymphalid butterfly. The body is dark brown with white spots scattered on the ventral side. The forewing wing ends are rounded. The hind wings are nearly round, and the outer edge is slightly jagged. The underside of the wings is dark brown. The male butterfly has a blue-purple oblique band on the outside of the forewing, with white stripes on the inside, small white stripes on the ends of the wings, and a blue-purple round spot on the center of the hind wings, with white stripes on the inside. The markings on the back of female butterflies vary according to different types, with blue-purple luster, white spots or erythema. The ventral surface of the wings is brown in color, usually with white stripes along the outer edge, white dots on the inner side, and oblique leucorrhea on the outer side of the forewing. There is often a vaginal discharge in the center of the hind wing. Ciliate is black and white. . The appearance mimicry mimics the poisonous butterfly species, the purple phantom butterfly, making it difficult for natural enemies to distinguish and avoid predation.
Adults can be seen throughout the year, more than one generation. , There are more wet seasons. Evergreen broad-leaved forests, coastal forests, rural farmland, and gardens that occur in areas with an altitude of 0-2000 meters tend to be moist, shaded, and have a flower-visiting nature on the nearby ground, and will also suck rot and sap.
Most Nymphalidae butterflies have high field behavior. The male butterfly will find a commanding height with a good line of sight near the adult butterfly food or larvae feeding on the grass. The purple wing butterfly is one of the butterfly species with the strongest domain behavior. Someone once saw a male butterfly chasing a larger butterfly.
Nymphalidae (Nymphalidae) is the largest family of butterflies, with more than 3,400 species in the world. It is a small-to-medium-sized butterfly species, and a few are large-scale species. The colors are rich, the shapes are different, and the patterns are quite complicated. A very small number of species mimic the butterflies. The lower lip and whiskers of the Nymphalidae adults are particularly thick; the antennae are long and the ends are obviously thickened and have a hammer shape; the compound eyes are bare or hairy; the middle breasts of some species are particularly strong and developed; the wings are rich and changeable, and the differences between the genera Big. It is characterized by degeneration of the forefoot, retracted under the chest, and has no effect. It is also called quadrupedal butterfly because they have only 4 functional (or walking) legs. Many of these species have bright colors and include popular species such as monarch moths, red admiral butterflies, yellow-brown admiral butterflies, and leopard butterflies. However, the ventral surface of its wings is dim, and some species will look like dead leaves, or even paler, to produce an evasive effect that can help the butterfly disappear from the environment.
