[LEPS-L:7985] Long-lived butterflies?

[Kenelm Philip]

	If day-flying moths will do instead of butterflies, there's a
common arctic moth whose larvae take more than 10 years to mature:
_Gynaephora rossii_. (I have no idea if this species even _has_ an
English name--Covell did not include the species, and Holland listed
no English name.)
