Description

Nymphalidae Satyrinae Coenonymphini Coenonympha pamphilus (Linnaeus, 1758) Small Heath (butterfly) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Lo Small Heath Panfilo Coenonympha è una specie di farfalla appartenente alla famiglia Nymphalidae, (Satyrinae sottofamiglia, comunemente noto come "i Browns"). E 'diffusa in Eurasia e Africa nord-occidentale, preferendo habitat secco rispetto ad altri Coenonymphae. Le piante ospiti delle larve sono erbe, in particolare festuca ovina, prato Rough erba Poa trivialis. La farfalla assomiglia vagamente un piccolo prato Brown, ma il colore bruno delle ali appare visibilmente più pallido in volo. A differenza del prato Brown e altri membri della comune Satyrinae, la Small Heath è un Basker laterale, sempre e solo a riposo con le ali chiuse e angolato a 90 ° rispetto al sole. Le larve hanno durata di vita di varia lunghezza, anche all'interno della stesso clima, quindi l'immagina di una generazione può essere visto per un lungo periodo. La farfalla ha di solito due, a volte tre, covate ed è sulla fascia da metà maggio fino ai primi di ottobre (fine giugno a metà agosto in climi più freddi). Il overwinters insetto nella sua fase larvale. La Small Heath, come il suo cugino, il muro di Brown, è in grave declino in gran parte dell'Inghilterra meridionale, per ragioni poco chiare, ed è stato quindi designato come BAP UK specie prioritarie (solo ricerca) The Small Heath Coenonympha pamphilus is a butterfly species belonging to the family Nymphalidae, (subfamily Satyrinae, commonly known as "the Browns"). It is widespread in Eurasia and northwestern Africa, preferring drier habitats than other Coenonymphae. The larval host plants are grasses, notably Sheep's Fescue, Rough meadow grass Poa trivialis. The butterfly loosely resembles a small Meadow Brown, but the brown colour of the wings appears noticeably paler in flight. Unlike the Meadow Brown and other common members of Satyrinae, the Small Heath is a lateral basker, only ever resting with its wings closed and angled at 90° to the sun. The larvae have lifespans of varying length, even within the same climate, thus the imagines of one generation may be seen over a long period. The butterfly usually has two, occasionally three, broods and is on the wing from mid May until early October (late June to mid August in colder climates). The insect overwinters in its larval stage. The Small Heath, like its cousin the Wall Brown, has been in serious decline across much of southern England for reasons unclear, and was accordingly designated as a UK BAP Priority Species (research only) Good sunday and good week Thanks for the comments and the favourites of previous image
