Syringa protolaciniata

Plants in the genus Syringa are known as lilacs, and they are native to Eurasia. Syringa vulgaris is the common lilac, widely grown in gardens in temperate regions of the world, and it is taller-growing than the plant pictured here. I have labeled my photo Syringa protolaciniata, but its name and origins are in dispute. Many people think this plant is a hybrid originating in southern Asia, perhaps in Iran or Afghanistan, but in any case it is much shorter than S. vulgaris, though it shares the delightful fragrance for which lilacs are famous. It belongs to the Oleaceae, or Olive Family.

A flowering shrub or small tree from the olive family, native to Korea and Japan, naturalised in many other areas, and invasive in North America. Deciduous in colder areas.

Moth of the Week

African Death’s-Head Hawkmoth

Acherontia atropos

The African death's-head hawkmoth is part of the family Sphingidae and is the most widely recognized of the three species of Death’s-Head Hawkmoth. The species was described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus. Its common name comes from the skull shape on the back of its thorax. It’s binomial name comes from the river Acheron in Greece, which was believed to lead to the Underworld, and the Greek goddess Atropos respectively.

Description The forewings are black/brown with mottled shades of brown while the hindwings are buff orange with two black/brown stripes that curve with the edge of the hindwing. The head and thorax are the same black/brown color as the forewings interrupted by the brown skull on the back of the thorax. The abdomen is the same buff color as the hindwings with similar stripes of the same color. There is also a single stripe down the center of the abdomen called the “dorsal stripe.”

Average Wingspan: 13 cm (5 in)

Females are large than males with a rounded abdomen tip and larger, thicker antennae

Males have a pointed abdomen tip

Diet and Habitat Larva of this species mainly eat the leaves of potato plants which have alkaloids. The larva accumulate these toxins to become unpalatable to predators. Adults eat the nectar of flowers and stolen honey from the beehives of the Western Honey Bee. They are able to mimic the scent of bees and steal the honey undetected. They use their proboscis, a tube used to drink nectar and honey, to break the honey comb.

Their ranges stretches from the Middle East, as far south as the southern tip of Africa, as far north as southern Great Britain, as far east as India and western Saudi Arabia, and as far west as the Canary Islands and Azores. It is known to move into western Eurasia, but a majority do not survive the winter.

Mating This moth has multiple generations per year. In Africa, the broods are continuous. In the northern range, the larva overwinter in the pupal stage. Eggs are laid singly on the underside of species in mainly Solanaceae but also Physalis, Verbenaceae, Cannabaceae, Oleaceae, Pedaliaceae and others.

Predators This moth can emit a special squeak noise by sucking in air to vibrate a flap in its mouth and throat. The purpose of this squeak is unclear, but the two hypotheses are it is to scare away predators or to mimic the sound of a queen bee makes for the workers to stop moving to easier raid beehives for honey. They are also immune to bee venom and can mimic the scent of bees.

Fun Fact This moth has appeared many times in pop culture as symbols of death and evil:

It appeared in The Hireling Shepherd, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Un Chien Andalou, the promotional marquee posters for The Silence of the Lambs, in the music video to Massive Attack's single, "Butterfly Caught,” and on the American edition's cover of José Saramago's novel Death with Interruptions.

It is mentioned in Susan Hill's Gothic horror novel I'm the King of the Castle and John Keats’s "Ode to Melancholy.”

It is referred to in The Mothman Prophecies.

Finally, the moth is used as a calling card by the serial killer Buffalo Bill. However, in the movie script they are referred to under a different species of death’s-head hawkmoths.

Syringa - sy·​rin·​ga (sə-ˈriŋ-gə)

noun

1. a plant of the genus Syringa (family Oleaceae ), especially (in gardening) the lilac.

[konjaku]

斑入蔓日日草[Fuiritsurunichinichisō] Vinca major 'Variegata'

It is so named because is a creeper, its flower resembles that of 日日草[Nichinichisō](Catharanthus roseus) and its leaves are 斑入り[Fuiri](Variegated) called 覆輪[Fukurin](Covering the periphery). 蔓 means vine.

Tsurunichinichisō is native to southern Europe and northern Africa. The propeller-shaped, light purple flowers with five petals that bloom from spring to early summer are lovely, however, on the other hand, it is one of the family Oleaceae, which contains alkaloids throughout the grass, and is very fecund and has become feral in some parts of the country.

日日 is also written as 日々, and has three different readings.

Nichinichi : Day by day; every day; daily

Hibi : Almost the same as nichinichi

Hinichi : Date; the number of days; usually written as 日にち

There is a Zen proverb that says, 日日是好日. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichinichi_kore_kōnichi
