Finally!!! The Insects are done. As such I have largely completed the suggested provings of the Lepidoptera. Hope you all enjoy!

While Lepidoptera are indeed the most extensively proven of all Hexapod classes, due to the unique relationship of Lepidoptera 416px-Lycaenidae_0001with the Plant Kingdom, we still have a significant underrepresentation of Lepidoptera species in the material medica. There are many orders of plants which have no hosting Lepidoptera species either potentised or proven. Provings of any Lepidoptera which hosts on one of these orders would be a wonderful addition to the material medica. A chart of Dictoiledon orders, based on Michal Yakir’s work is included below.

As of yet, no Butterflies have been proven that host within the monocots, gymnosperms, or bryophytes. Within the monocots, amoung the Magnolids the Nymphales, Iliacles, Piperales, Aristolochiales, Ranunculales and Papaverales have no provings. Amoung the Hamamelids the Hamamelidales have only one tenuous proving. The Carophyllids have no provings whatsoever. Within the Dillenids the Dilleniales, Theales, Srraceniales, Malvales, Curcubitales, Primulales, Ericales and Ebenales all have no proven members. Within the Rosids noe species hosting upon the Myrtales, Euphorbiales, Cornales, Santalales or Celestrales are known. And within the Asterids no proven members host within the Gentianales, Rubiales, Lamiales, Verbenals or Campanulales are available.
