Mass migration of Kricogonia lyside (Lepidoptera, Pieridae) in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in 1995

Abstract

Mass migration of Kricogonia lyside (Pieridae) was observed in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on September 16-17, 1995. According to my calculation, more than a million K. lyside moved from west to east for two days. The migration accompanied four other species: Phoebis sennae (Pieridae), Euptoieta hegesia, Euptoieta claudia (Nymphalidae) and Agraulis vanillae (Heliconiidae).
