01Narrative

Gnophodes betsimena, the banded evening brown, is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae. It is found in southern Africa. The wingspan is 55–65 mm for males and 60–70 mm for females. Adults are probably on wing year round, but usually from March to August (with peaks from April to June). The larvae feed on various grasses, including Ehrharta erecta,"Gnophodes Doubleday, [1849]" at Markku Savela's Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms Panicum deustum, and Setaria species.

05DNA & barcoding8 eDNA hits

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 Gnophodes parmeno has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA8 detections

Where the DNA of Gnophodes parmeno 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.
