摘要

In the paper on some life history observations it was stated thatAloeides damarensis damarensis (Trimen, 1891) was possibly aphytophagous. This is now seen to be unlikely. Aloeides damarensis is very common and widespread in Botswana. The first observation (AG) was made from a large colony (at least 2 km in length and 0.5 km in width) along the Palapye - Martin's Drift road (59-61 km pegs). It was at the end of February 2001 and on an overcast and cool day, the laying behaviour was seen at 16:00 hrs.Even at this time the butterflies were quite active (it should be mentioned a cool day in Botswana at this time of the day in February can be 25-30 deg C). A female A. damarensis displaying laying behaviour landed on the foodplant Waltheria indica L. (Sterculiaceae). Adults were also seen to use this plant as a nectar source. She crawled down the plant and onto the ground. The female walked across the ground dragging the end of her abdomen over the ground. She stopped on a number of occasions but did not lay any eggs. After wandering away from the plant she turned and returned towards the plant. Still dragging her abdomen, she found a 'suitable' spot, on the soil surface, pushed her abdomen slightly into the ground and laid a blue egg. She then used her hind legs in an attempt to kick a bit of soil over the egg, moved slightly and repeated the process. She moved again, closer to the base of the plant and laid more eggs in the same manner, this time being more successful in covering the eggs with a few grains of sand. When she was near the plantjjpd laying eggs, Pheidole (Myrmecinae) ants crawled over her abdomen. After slm&flew off, closer examination revealed a colony of Pheidole ants at the base of the plant, which had constructed a nest around the roots of the plant. Most of the W. indica plants in the area had ant colonies at their base. Larvae at various stages of development were found on the roots or the base of the stem. Pupae were also found loosely attached to the plant roots, the ants having made empty spaces around the roots.
