Mass rearing of Spalgis epius (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), a potential predator of mealybugs (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) [PDF]

, 2011
Spalgis epius (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) has been recorded as a potential predator of various species of mealybug crop pests worldwide. We describe the mass rearing of S. epius, as no information on this topic is available.

Host ant specificity of large blue butterflies Phengaris (Maculinea) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) inhabiting humid grasslands in East-central Europe

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
Butterflies of the genus Phengaris have a highly specialised life cycle involving an obligatory relationship with Myrmica ants. A knowledge of the host ant specificity is essential for understanding the relationship between a particular Phengaris species

Are Findings of Key Insect Metrics Generalizable Across Different Taxa in Malaise Trap Samples?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Malaise traps are increasingly used for global insect monitoring. However, it remains unclear whether patterns in total insect biomass from these traps reflect only changes in dominant taxa, or whether they reflect changes in other key community metrics and taxonomic groups.

Increasing patch area, proximity of human settlement and larval food plants positively affect the occurrence and local population size of the habitat specialist butterfly Polyommatus coridon (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in fragmented calcareous grasslands

European Journal of Entomology, 2011
Which factors influence the occurrence, population size and density of species in fragmented habitat patches are key questions in population and conservation ecology.

Ability of males of two theclini species (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) to discriminate between sexes and different types of females based on the colour of their wings

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
Many territorial species of butterfly are sexually dimorphic in their wing colours, and males of such species frequently fight each other, probably attracted by the rival's wing colour.

Color changes upon cooling of Lepidoptera scales containing photonic nanoarchitectures, and a method for identifying the changes [PDF]

, 2013
The effects produced by the condensation of water vapor from the environment in the various intricate nanoarchitectures occurring in the wing scales of several Lepidoptera species were investigated by controlled cooling (from 23° C, room temperature to

Microhabitat preferences of Maculinea teleius (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) in a mosaic landscape

European Journal of Entomology, 2007
The Scarce Large Blue (Maculinea teleius) is an endangered butterfly throughout Europe due to its special life-cycle and habitat loss. Our aims were to describe the microhabitats available to this butterfly, to test what factors influence the presence ...

How Changes in Plant Community Structure Affect Terrestrial Invertebrate Food Webs [PDF]

, 2015
We investigated how change in plant community composition and vegetative structure brought about by annual grass-specific herbicide application affects terrestrial arthropod communities, with special emphasis on the potential mutualists and predators of ...
