Exemplos destas populações são as dos arredores de Lisboa como na zona de Sintra (anos 50) e na serra da Arrábida e São Luis (anos 70) enquanto as populações do curso superior do Rio Douro mantém-se mais ou menos saudáveis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Os motivos destes desaparecimentos locais não estão bem documentados mas na zona de Sintra tal dever-se-à provavelmente à expansão urbanistica que ocupou os habitats adequados (zonas onduladas e colinas xerotermófilas com abundância da planta alimentícia, espécies perenes de Biscutella, Cruciferae). Na Arrábida o seu desaparecimento é dificil de perceber dado o relativamente rico e bem preservado coberto vegetal mas a planta alimentícia é de facto rara e desenvolve-se maioritariamente nas bermas das estradas. Se pensarmos que a vegetação destas bermas é cortada no periodo máximo de floração e voo das borboletas... é fácil daí depreender que o futuro não é fácil!

É um pequeno escaravelho terrestre encontrado debaixo de pedras e caminhando nos prados pedregosos entre os zimbros e os piornos.&lt;br /&gt;Algo dificil de fotografar pela sua cor negra, é uma componente importante que interessa preservar, dado que pela sua reduzida área de distribuição mundial e ameaças (alterações climáticas, destruição de habitat, etc) se encontra em risco.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294652849622847698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_z8SgTy2HP9g/SXpitubHkNI/AAAAAAAAAIk/xPTdVzIwYaI/s320/estrela3_web.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6831969363462261509-3408830933385618293?l=eduardomarabutonature.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eduardomarabutonature.blogspot.com/feeds/3408830933385618293/comments/default' title='Enviar comentários'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6831969363462261509&amp;postID=3408830933385618293&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comentários'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6831969363462261509/posts/default/3408830933385618293'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6831969363462261509/posts/default/3408830933385618293'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eduardomarabutonature.blogspot.com/2009/01/iberodorcadion-brannani.html' title='Iberodorcadion brannani'/><author><name>Eduardo Marabuto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13857926916372314210</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12370076134261731594'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z8SgTy2HP9g/SXpjCJhLZ3I/AAAAAAAAAIs/Sel8NA8wTVo/s72-c/Iberodorcadion-brannani_w.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831969363462261509.post-8781646864465445629</id><published>2008-09-06T01:00:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2008-09-06T01:26:00.313+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rare'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ferreira'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alentejo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Borboletas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='diurna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='abencerragus'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Beja'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lusoborboletas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lepidoptera'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pseudophilotes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lycaenidae'/><title type='text'>Lep Series 3 - Pseudophilotes abencerragus</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z8SgTy2HP9g/SMHMyihlDZI/AAAAAAAAAFw/E7oORcdLSyQ/s1600-h/Pseudophilotes-abencerragus_web.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242696609869139346" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_z8SgTy2HP9g/SMHMyihlDZI/AAAAAAAAAFw/E7oORcdLSyQ/s320/Pseudophilotes-abencerragus_web.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z8SgTy2HP9g/SMHNAGec5LI/AAAAAAAAAF4/w8DQCNFtXW0/s1600-h/Pseudophilotes-abencerragus.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242696842857997490" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_z8SgTy2HP9g/SMHNAGec5LI/AAAAAAAAAF4/w8DQCNFtXW0/s320/Pseudophilotes-abencerragus.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pseudophilotes abencerragus is one of the smallest butterflies in the world. This liliputian butterfly is as small as it is rare, found only in very few places in Portugal, Spain and Morocco where its colonies are very local and butterflies fly in rocky places with sparse vegetation, which constitutes their habitat.&lt;br /&gt;This is a highly stenochorous species as they fly around the foodplants and little more, not going much further than a couple of meters away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Portugal this rare species is to be found mostly in the Algarve, with scattered populations elsewhere. Their caterpillars feed only on the smalish Cleonia lusitanica, from the rosemary family.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242696074991620450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;

If you're in the Palaearctic Region (Europe, North Africa and Asia) one of the most conspicuous group of brightly coloured and interesting moth groups you're likely to come across is the Burnet-Moths (genus Zygaena of family Zygaenidae), so called because they are red and black (or blue) small day-flying little moths. Indeed, they have such startling colouration (called aposematic) to warn predators of their toxicity as they are known to have cyanogenic compounds in their hemolymph. (So... please if you see one and are hungry remember its something you'll only eat once!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ccff;"&gt;Anyway, the Mediterranean area is especially rich in these moths and in Portugal there are eight species in the genus Zygaena. While most are very local, some are common meadow moths easily seen in the countryside.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Contrariamente ao que é de senso comum, apenas cerca de metade das espécies de borboletas nocturnas têm cores escuras e sombrias e certamente apenas uma duzia das cerca de 200 000 especies em todo o Mundo irá alimentar-se das nossas roupas e tecidos!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Apesar de normalmente os insectos coloridos serem associados às húmidas e quentes florestas tropicais ou outros lugares perto do equador, a maioria das pessoas que vive em zonas temperadas ou mais frias iria ficar surpreendida com a variedade de formas e cores que muitas borboletas nocturnas apresentam. Se está na região Paleartica (Europa, Norte de África ou Asia) um dos grupos de borboletas mais conspícuas e coloridas que verá mais provavelmente é o das Zygaenas (familia Zygaenidae, genero Zygaena), pequenas borboletas habitualmente de coloração vermelho-vivo e preto ou azul e que voam de dia nos campos. De facto, elas têm tal coloração (denominada aposemática) com o objectivo de alertar os predadores para a sua toxicidade dado que produzem substâncias cianogénicas (derivadas de compostos de cianeto). Por favor, se um dia estiver no campo com fome e vir uma borboleta destas... pense que é algo que só comerá uma vez!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;Seja como for, a região Mediterrânica é especialmente rica em espécies deste grupo e em Portugal existem oito espécies no género Zygaena. Apesar da maioria ter uma distribuição muito localizada, algumas são relativamente comuns, facilmente observáveis no campo.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Zygaena trifolii&lt;/em&gt;
