Forum Entomologi Italiani

Dear all,

one of the numerous Agapanthia found in last field trip in Greece.
found and collected only in NE of Greece (Tharacia), I suspect that the host plant is some kind of Tragopon (the majority of specimens where found on this plant) - see first image. size around 12-15 mm (around big Agapanthia cardui size), photographed in 19.may.2009... around 15 specimens collected, not prepared, not examined yet so I have no idea.

Sorry for the large number of photos.

p.s. I promise that will come back also with some Dorcadion ... but not only
