| Metal mark moths | | The metal mark moths (Choreutidae) are a family in the order Lepidoptera, the suborder Glossata, the infraorder Heteroneura (unranked: Ditrysia), the section Tineina, the subsection Sesiina and the superfamily Choreutoidea. In the past, the Choreutidae belonged ... | | |
| | Adult Nephrotoma quadrifaria reach body lengths of 5 –15 mm. Their bodies are black and yellow in colour. The wings bear a clearly visible dark mark. Near the tip of their wings the veins are running across. | | |
| | | The head of the bee wolf is big and visibly wider than the front section of the body. The antennae are short and thicker in the middle and point forward during flight. An important characteristic of these insects is the whitish-yellow marking on the forehead, which sometimes resembles a twice or trice jagged crown. The crown-like marking differs on each bee wolf. The males have large mandibles on the head to mark out territory and attract females in the mating season. | | |
| | Before mating, flat-footed flies often appear in large swarms, in which they mark their territory by leaving scent marks on trees and shrubs. As they fly up and down, their legs hang down. On leaves and wet sandy soils, they can be recognized by their zigzag movements. | | |
| | They also feed on dung heaps and carcasses to obtain protein and minerals. 30 000 to 50 000 flies can be encountered at the same time, especially in autumn when they gather to overwinter and to mark their mating spots with special scents in the vicinity of their winter habitats for next year. In extreme cases, several hundred thousand can gather. In spring, after overwintering, the flies meet up at the marked places. Male Sepsis fulgens usually then visit dung-heaps where they await females for mating. The mating takes place at another location later on.
The female flies lay their eggs on dung-heaps or compost heaps. From the first or second d... | | |
| | The orange tip has a wingspan of 35-50 mm. The upper sides of the wings of both sexes are white. The outermost part of the forewings is grey to black-grey in the females, and orange in the males. This orange mark is characteristic of the species hence their name In the centre of the upper side of the forewings is a black spot, which is somewhat smaller on the males. The colouring of the underside of the forewings is roughly the same as the upper side. | | |
| | ...ight and clearly segmented. The upper side of the body is bare and shiny. Half blankets and neck shield have a dark brown to black hue and the centre and tips of the wings bear patches of yellowy - red. On the upper side of the insect is a yellow mark in the shape of a small heart. These bugs have large complex eyes. The head and legs are lighter in colour than the rest of the body. There are dark patches on the legs. | | |
| | There are approximately 400 species of metal mark moths worldwide, 17 of which occur in Europe, 12 in Central Europe. They belong to 3 subfamilies: Brentiinae, Choreutinae and Millierinae. The Brentiinae, which includes around 70 species,live in the Nearctic, in Australia and South Asia. The Chor... | | |
