Independence day Celebration in CUBE

Independence day butterfly Challenge

On Independence Day, there was a presentation from SN College Alathur about the Butterfly model system. New cubusts who joined are actively working with the lifecycle of butterflies and taking pictures of them. Their objectives are to study the lifecycle of butterflies and to identify butterflies in the surrounding area of their homelabs.

Let’s celebrate the 78th Independence Day with the students of CUBE SN College Alathur as we explore the fascinating world of butterflies from their homelab! Butterflies, symbolizing transformation and freedom, remind us of the beauty in change.

Timings : 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm

Join us from the start and be part of this colorful journey!

Thanks!

Common mormon butterflies lay about 20 to 25 eggs on the undersides and upper surfaces of leaves. Their preferred host plants typically belong to the family Rutaceae and include cultivated citrus plants such as the key lime tree and the mandarin orange. ADW: Papilio polytes: INFORMATION.

The butterfly is also known as the common lime butterfly, lemon butterfly, lime swallowtail, small citrus butterfly, chequered swallowtail, dingy swallowtail and citrus swallowtail. These common names refer to their host plants, which are usually citrus species such as the cultivated lime. CSIR-NEERI Biodiversity Portal.

That was an amazing session with Harshad,A cubists currently doing Post doctoral fellowship at Ahmadabad University, Gujarat.We had a session with him about butterflies and the Pupal color switch in butterflies

We here report how genes involved in the pupal coloration of P. polytes are regulated, which sheds light on the evolutionary process of pupal protective colors among Lepidoptera. Frontiers | Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Pupal Protective Color Switch in Papilio polytes Butterflies

Larval vision is limited and poor. They see with 12 ocelli, which have only a few cells each (compared to the thousands of cells associated with adult insect eyes or human eyes). However, larvae still see the same range of light as adult butterflies— from red all the way through ultraviolet. Butterfly Senses • Monarch Joint Venture.
