01Narrative

Anthene seltuttus, the dark ciliate blue, is a butterfly of the family Lycaenidae. It is found in Australia, New Guinea, Indonesia and a number of bordering Pacific islands. The wingspan is about 25 mm. The larvae feed on Cassia fistula, Pongamia pinnata, Cryptocarya hypospodia, Lagerstroemia speciosa, Syzygium wilsonii, Cupaniopsis anacardioides and Brachychiton acerifolium.

05DNA & barcoding4 specimens

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Anthene seltuttus has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA1 detections

Where the DNA of Anthene seltuttus was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
