| Adult hawthorn shield bugs reach body lengths of 15 - 17 mm. Their heads have a pattern of black and yellow stripes. They have red to red-brown stripes on the wing covers which at the edge of the pronotum look like a triangle. This colouration acts as camouflage making the bug difficult to distinguish from its environment. The colouration of the abdomen’s upper surface changes seasonally and has green, brown and reddish tones. The head, pronotum and scutellum are covered in black dots. The keel of the abdomen’s roof shaped underside has a sting-like appendage. Beside the legs are def... | | |
| | Their bodies have bizarre shapes. Their indentations, spots and stripes, as well as their colouration, help them to camouflage themselves. Their colouration ranges from snow white with red stripes, to pale green, brown, bright yellow or emerald green and they are often attractive looking. The body surface can also be longitudinally striped or spotted. Diaea dorsata usually live on leaves, while colourfu... | | |
| | | The adult insects reach a length of 12 to 15 mm. They are green-brown to bronze in colour. However after the winter, their colouration is light green. Their bodies are covered in small dimples and spots, their feet are brownish in colour, and the outer edges of their wing covers are yellowish. | | |
| | Moths | | ...forester moths (Zygaenidae), and Notodontidae.
Moths are not always nocturnal but they only fly in sunny weather. Most moths are inconspicuous and dully coloured and this allows them a kind of camouflage when they rest in the daytime. Their wing colouration often mimics the appearance of their roost (tree bark, dry leaves). | | |
| | Graphosoma lineatum | | ...ntatomoidea, and the family stink bugs and shield bugs (Pentatomidae). Graphosoma lineatum are common and widespread in Central Europe, Southern Europe, Asia Minor and the Middle East. Adult Graphosoma lineatum reach body lengths of 8 - 12 mm. Their colouration and markings are very conspicuous and warn possible predators that they are inedible. | | |
| | Meadow brown | | ...rowns reach wingspans of 40 - 50 mm. In the females, the upper surface of the wings is dark brown. The front wings have a yellow-orange band, and a dark, round spot with a white centre which resembles an eye. The males are smaller and have a similar colouration. However, their "eyes" are not as big as those of the females. The undersides of the wings are yellow. There are "eyes" there too. The underside of the hind wings bears a jagged grey band. In the males this is a bit lighter. | | |
| | Adult Polyommatus icarus reach wingspans of 25 - 35 mm. Males and females vary greatly in terms of their colouration. In the males, the upper surface of the wings is blue with black and white edges, while in the females it is brown with orange markings. In both sexes the underside of the wings has black spots and the edges are marked with orange half moon shapes. ... | | |
| | ...Auchenorrhyncha reach body lengths of 1.8 - 70 mm. In resting position, their wings form a roof shape. The proboscis is found on the underside of the head. The antennae consist of 2 basal segments and have a flagellum. Cicadas have a very distinct colouration and use camouflage to adapt to the local environment. Some species are highly patterned. The hind legs of Auchenorrhyncha are designedfor jumping. Auchenorrhyncha can be confused with grasshoppers. | | |
| | Ichneumon wasps reach body lengths of 10-50 mm. The colouration of their bodies varies. . The basic colour is often black or reddish-brown. Many species have markings in red, white, yellow or brown. The antennae of most species have more than 16 segments. The presence and shape of the areole in the front wi... | | |
| | Plant-parasitic Hemipterans - Sternorrhyncha | | ...es (Aleyrodoidea) and Phylloxeroidea. The Sternorrhyncha are common and widespread throughout the world. There are approximately 8,000 species. Some 1060 species occur in Central Europe. Sternorrhyncha reach body lengths of 0.5 - 38 mm. In shape and colouration, the species differ strongly. | | |
