SBBT Publishes New Homerus Swallowtail Video

27th November 2018 by SBBT

Fieldwork on Jamaica’s Homerus Swallowtail has been recorded in a new video by John Parnell and published on the SBBT project page today. In this SBBT-sponsored initiative, Eric Garraway’s team take tiny wing samples to test for DNA differences between two populations. The results will steer conservation planning for this CITES Appendix 1 endangered species.

    OUR APPEAL

    Swallowtails and birdwings are beautiful and graceful butterflies – who wouldn’t love to see them dancing in the sunlight or sipping nectar from wildflowers? But many species are under threat from agriculture, forestry and climate change. We have ideas, enthusiasm and a vision for the future. Will you help us to achieve our goals?

    GIVING

    Financial contributions are welcome and will be treasured. We also need your ideas, new information, suggestions and encouragement!
