Ant-Butterfly Interactions - Borboletas formigueiras

This project aims to summarize the natural history records of myrmecophilous interactions in the butterfly families Lycaenidae and Riodinidae (Lepidoptera), as well as their host plants and tending ants. Through the naturalistic records a global multitrophic network of Ant-butterfly-plant interactions can be generated.

Please add all symbiotic observations between butterflies and ants to this project!

Relevant observations include: Oviposition and host plant records.
Immatures stages (egg, caterpillar, pupa) and adult association with ants.

Simple observations of adult of potentially myrmecophilous species in the families Lycaenidae and Riodinidae would not qualify for this project (however, they are automatically being added to the Borboletas formigueiras (Lycaenidae & Riodinidae) project: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/borboletas-formigueiras-lycaenidae-riodinidae)

Este projeto pretende sumarizar os registros de história natural de borboletas formigueiras das famílias Lycaenidae e Riodinidae (Lepidoptera), bem como, suas plantas hospedeiras e formigas atendentes. A partir do registros de Historia Natural será gerado uma rede global de interações borboleta-formiga-plantas.

Por favor adicione observações entre borboletas formigueiras e formigas neste projeto!
