Several of us here ar DG have been volunteering at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens for the "Butterflies in the Garden" exhibit. Within the exhibit there are many exotic species from around the globe. I have spent the better part of March sorting and compiling information on each butterfly before beginning.

Here is the first snag I have encountered:
The butterfly is Pearl Charaxes, and this is the family tree..
Classification / Taxonomy / Family tree

* Kingdom: ANIMALIA
* Phylum: ARTHROPODA
* Class: INSECTA
* Order: LEPIDOPTERA
* Suborder: DITRYSIA
* Superfamily: PAPILIONOIDAE
* Family: NYMPHALIDAE
* Subfamilie: CHARAXINAE
* Tribe: CHARAXINI
* Genus: CHARAXES
* Specific name: VARANES

I entered the information in the boxes provided and got this message

Quoting:The order ("Lepodoptera") and family ("Nymphalidae") are not familiar to us. Before you can add this bug, you'll need to post the details to the BugFiles How-to's forum."

The Pearl Charaxes (Charaxes varanes) is a butterfly of the Afrotropic ecozone (Africa). The distribution enfolded Namibia Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa Republic.

I will skip this one for now and move on to the next until y'all get back to me.

Thanks!
