Calinaga

Calinaga is the sole genus of the monotypic nymphalid butterfly subfamily Calinaginae. Its species occur in South Asia and Southeast Asia. The evolutionary history of Calinaga remains a mystery until today. Recent research indicated that the common ancestor of Calinaga first split in the Eocene in southern China. This was most likely due to a consequence of geological and environmental impacts of the collision of the Indian and Asian subcontinents.[1]

gollark: Maybe it's good to have said new players actually do a *useful thing*?
gollark: I mean, if you have your own gold farm, sure.
gollark: Yes, which makes sense, because you do nothing.
gollark: <@154361670188138496> If they can find people to *stand still AFK* for 10KST/hour, then that's a reasonable price. It doesn't matter how much they make when there happens to be a person nearby.
