australian citrus swallowtail borboleta de cauda de andorinha australiana Explanation: swallow ['swàlE§] swallow-tail cauda de andorinha, fraque, variedade de borboletas de cauda de andorinha, flâmula em cauda de andorinha; © Porto Editora, Lda. - 2000 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2007-10-23 19:42:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Em algumas espécies diurnas estes ocelos localizam-se no final das asas posteriores como acontece na Cauda-de-andorinha (Papilio machaon) e na Flâmula (Iphiclides podalirius). Estes falsos olhos caudais, que instintivamente se movem de forma regular, confundem um eventual predador, que, ao atacar os ocelos, ficará apenas com pedaços da asa e algumas escamas, enquanto a borboleta conseguirá eventualmente fugir. http://sotaodaines.chrome.pt/Sotao/borboletas_4.html |
