After the larvae of Amblyteles armatorius have hatched, they eat the host caterpillar from the inside, until it dies. When the larvae are fully developed, they pupate inside the hollowed out hosts, finally emerging as adult ichneumon wasps. Female Amblyteles armatorius overwinter. | | |
| | The females lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves of the caterpillar’s forage plants, for example on willow, hazel, fluttery elm, field elm, mountain elm, hops, great nettle, gooseberry and raspberry plants. Around 250 eggs are laid separately. 2 - 3 weeks later the solitary caterpillars hatch. During the day they stay on the underside of the leaves. The larval stage lasts 6 weeks and then the caterpillars pupate. The pupae are striking; the middle is constrictedly built and has a hump with shiny, metallic patches on the front and back. . The second generation of comma butterflies overwinter as adults. | | |
| | The caterpillars of the last generation overwinter. They pupate in spring of the following year and emerge as adult butterflies in May. The adult brown argus butterflies are active from May to June. During this time they mate and reproduce. The fertilized females a...
...ay. The adult brown argus butterflies are active from May to June. During this time they mate and reproduce. The fertilized females always lay their eggs on the host plants of their larvae, on the underside of the leaves. The development from egg to caterpillar takes about 10 - 12 days. After hatching the caterpillars immediately begin feeding on the host plants and after about 60 days they have completed their development. They are greenish and have a pale line lengthwise on each side. When they have reached a length of about 20 mm they pupate. They hatch from ...
...eted their development. They are greenish and have a pale line lengthwise on each side. When they have reached a length of about 20 mm they pupate. They hatch from the pupae from late July to mid September and produce the second annual generation of caterpillars which overwinter in leaves in frost free places. | | |
