Das es sehr viele verschiedene Schmetterlinge in Sri Lanka gibt konnten sie an Hand der Namen ja feststellen jede Menge andere Insekten von denen mit Sicherheit noch längst nicht alle beschrieben sind. Also wäre ein Sri Lanka Urlaub auch etwas für einen Insektenforscher um allerlei Insekten zu beobachten. Übrigens - auch Spinnen sind in Sri Lanka reichlich vertreten, es sind mit Sicherheit noch nicht alle Arten wissenschaftlich beschrieben worden. Bisher sind ungefähr 400 Arten bekannt geworden.
