...) or on a limited number of plant families (oligophagous). This is reflected in the name of each species (hawthorn lace bug, sugarcane lace bug, avocado lace bug, azalea lace bug etc. ). Lace bugs sit on the flowers and leaf undersides of their host plants. These insects are rather inactive and mostly hide between plant’s hairs, spines or in deeper holes. When disturbed they are unlikely to escape. Lace bugs feed on plant juices, which they remove from the epidermis layer of the leaf undersides with t... | | |
| Some species of lace bugs overwinter as adults. After mating, the fertilized females use their ovipositor to lay their eggs almost exclusively on the underside of the leaves of the food plants of their larvae (nymphs). The eggs of some species spend the winter there. The hatched larvae have longer or shorter thorns depending on what species they are. The typical lace like structure of the upper body is absent. In the first larval stage, t...
...just 4. The metamorphosis of the larvae of lace bugs is incomplete because it does not involve a pupal stage. The transition from nymph to adult lace bug is finished with the last moult. The nymphs of some species of lace bugs overwinter on the food plants. | | |
| | | Nymphalidae can fly fast and for long periods. They prefer sunny habitats. Many species are migrant moths. The caterpillars are gregarious and live on their forage plants (Violaceae, Urticaceae, Ulmaceae, Salicaceae, Cannabaceae, Caprifoliaceae or honeysuckle family etc.). When they want to pupate, they attach themselves to plants and other structures and hang from them. | | |
| | Painted ladies prefer warm and dry habitats. They are often found in large numbers in areas with a lot of thistles. They feed on nectar, which they suck from the flowers of the thistle (Cirsium) or other flowering plants like butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii). After mating, the fertilized females seek out the food plants of the larvae where they lay their eggs on the upperside of the leaves. The eggs are shaped like a cone, grooved, and greenish-grey in colour. They remain on the leaves for 3 to 5 days before the larvae hatch. When the larvae (caterpillars) have hat... | | |
| | After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs on the food plants of their larvae. The larvae develop in decaying plants, rotting fungi, and are also sometimes found in bird nests. After pupation, they overwinter in the soil. | | |
| | Plagiognathus arbustorum usually reproduce once a year. The fertilized females use their probosces to bore holes in the stems of the larvae’s food plants, where they then lay their eggs. The larvae are greenish with black markings. They appear in the spring and feed on plants just like the adults and are fully developed by June. They overwinter individually and appear again in March or April. | | |
| | Sexual maturity is reached when the fly is fully developed and these insects mate several times between May and August. The fertilized females lay their eggs on rotting plants, aquatic plants or on the surface of water. | | |
| Species of the genus Oiceoptoma such as Oeceoptoma thoracicum feed on faeces, rotting plants or fungi as well as carrion. Representatives of the genus Ablattaria (e.g. Ablattaria laevigata) specialize in the consumption of snails. They can penetrate the snail shell. Specimens from the genus Aclypea (although considered polyphagous i.e. fee...
...sources), are pure herbivores that can cause tremendous damage in turnip fields when appearing en masse. Members of the species Silpha atrata lay their eggs on dry or decaying leaves or in the soil. Their larvae can also cause damage to young turnip plants. | | |
| | Their preferred food plants are: St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), Geranium robertianum and Clinopodium vulgare in addition to various other herbaceous plants. They feed on plant juices or juice from seeds and fruits. | | |
| | After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs on the larval food plants. The larvae devour the leaves of various trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. These include willow (Salix), poplar(Populus), alder (Alnus) and buttercup (Ranunculaceae). | | |
