Dragons are usually shown in modern times with a body like a huge lizard, or a snake with two pairs of lizard-type legs, and able to emit fire from their mouths. The European dragon has bat-like wings growing from its back.A dragon-like creature with wings but only a single pair of legs is known as a wyvern.lthough the indigenous name for a dragon in Japanese is tatsu (ãã¤) , a few of the Japanese words for dragon stem from the Chinese word for dragon, namely, ryÅ« (ããã) or ryÅ (ããã) (traditional :é¾; simplified :ç«).
Each peppered moth in the samples was identified by phenotype as melanic (solid black), typical (patterned wings), or intermediate (insularia). The range of phenotypic differences results from multiple alleles at a single locus, with the allele producing full melanism as dominant (Lees and Creed 1977; West 1977).
Except for a difference in the food plants of the caterpillar, the life-history of the Gray Comma is very similar to that of the other Comma. The butterflies hibernate, and in spring lay eggs singly on the leaves of currants, gooseberries, and related plants.n the orange-growing regions of the Southern states the caterpillars of this butterfly feed freely upon the leaves of citrus fruits and they are often called orange puppies or orange dogs.. Probably their curious appearance and their habit of resting for long periods upon leaf or twig gave rise to this name.
