Euchromius mythus is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. [1] It occurs in most of eastern and southern Africa, including Kenya, Tanzania, Zaire, Malawi, the Comoros, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa. [2] The habitat consists of moist and dry savanna and woodland areas, up to an altitude of 1,000 meters.
The length of the forewings is 13–22 mm. Adults are on wing in March, April and May in most of the range, but also in June (in Tanzania), July (on Madagascar), August (on the Comoros) and September (in Zaire).
There are a number of systems of transport in the Comoros. The Comoros possesses 880 km (547 mi) of road, of which 673 km (418 mi) are paved. It has three seaports: Fomboni, Moroni and Moutsamoudou, but does not have a merchant marine, and no longer has any railway network. It has four airports, all with paved runways, one with runways over 2,438 m (7,999 ft) long, with the others having runways shorter than 1,523 m (4,997 ft).

Strophanthus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Apocynaceae, first described as a genus in 1802. It is native primarily to tropical Africa, extending to South Africa, with a few species in Asia from southern India to New Guinea and southern China. The genus name is a compound of the Greek words στροφος (strophos) "twisted" and ανθοσ (anthos) "flower", in reference to the corolla lobes which, in some species - notably S. petersianus - resemble long twisted ribbons or threads and can reach a length of 30–35 cm. This trait, in addition to colouring involving combinations of bright pinks, purples and oranges, combine to make the flowers among the most ornamental in the plant kingdom.
