| description | The two-tailed pasha Charaxes jasius is a common butterfly in the Mediterranean scrub near
the coasts where the arbutus abounds, and is one of the most endemic butterflies in the
Mediterranean.The species is also occurring in agricultural environments surrounding. In this study,
we recorded the presence of Charaxes jasius caterpillars for the first time on orangetrees (Citrus
sinensis) in Algeria. The caterpillars of this Lepidoptera have been observed from October 2018 to
February 2019 in the Ouaguenoun area (Tizi-Ouzou province, Northern Algeria). C. jasius is
bivoltine, overwintering occurs in the larval state, generally from November to March. In April-May,
caterpillars must complete their growth in order to pupate and give birth to butterflies. Adults were
seen in the research area in September 2019 eating on mature figs that had fallen to the ground.The
diversity of the host plants of Charaxes jasius allows this species the ability to populate various
territories. |
