17种蝴蝶的非侵入性光化学和生理实验。结果表明，9个spp. [Anartia amathea，A.法蒂玛、询问蓼、墨西哥尤瑞玛、E. naprape、Phoebis sennis、Pieris raisparis、Apodemia mormo和Everes comyntas]具有在610 nm处最大吸收的视紫红质，其包含在对610 nm最敏感的小网膜细胞中。这是无脊椎动物已知的波长最长的视觉色素。8种[Adeleanabredowii，Asterocampa celtis，Nymphalis antiopa，N. j-album，N. urticae、Precis lavinia、Siproeta steneles和Euptychia cymela]缺乏610 nm视紫红质。所有物种都具有在光谱的绿色区域吸收最大的视紫红质。
Noninvasive photochemical and physiological experiments with intact butterflies of 17 spp. showed that 9 spp. [Anartia amathea, A. fatima, Polygonia interrogationis, Eurema mexicana, E. nicippe, Phoebis sennae, Pieris rapae, Apodemia mormo and Everes comyntas] have a rhodopsin absorbing maximally at 610 nm, contained in retinular cells that are maximally sensitive at 610 nm. This is the longest wavelength visual pigment known for an invertebrate. Eight spp. [Adelphia bredowii, Asterocampa celtis, Nymphalis antiopa, N. j-album, N. urticae, Precis lavinia, Siproeta steneles and Euptychia cymela] lack the 610 nm rhodopsin. All species possess a rhodopsin absorbing maximally in the green region of the spectrum.
