Ascalaphe loriot – Libelloides ictericus -Neuroptera – Ascalaphidae<\/p>\n

4 genders of owl flies divided into 14 species in Europe.This first one is a scarce insect for which I haven’t found the English vernacular name. It occurs around the Mediterranean dry countries and can be rarely found in about 4 French departments. We encountered this individual in Spain.<\/p>\n

4 genres d’Ascalaphidae sont r\u00e9partis en 14 esp\u00e8ces, celle-ci est une premi\u00e8re pour moi! C’est le plus petits des Ascalaphes. On le trouve en Corse, Italie, Espagne et je suppose sur presque tout le pourtour m\u00e9diterran\u00e9en; pr\u00e9sent en France mais pas commun dans ces 4 d\u00e9partements: H\u00e9rault, Aude, Var et Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es orientales. Cet individu a \u00e9t\u00e9 photographi\u00e9 en Espagne dans un endroit aride et chaud avec peu de v\u00e9g\u00e9tation et pas loin d’un petit point d’eau douce. Le soleil \u00e9tant absent, il n’a h\u00e9las pas ouvert ses ailes:<\/p>\n

Ascalaphe soufr\u00e9 Celui-ci est le plus commun des Ascalaphes, les imagos \u00e9mergent en masse de la terre dans les champs fleuris o\u00f9 leurs larves ont pass\u00e9 l’hiver. Si le soleil s’absente d\u00e8s que pos\u00e9s, ils referment leurs ailes en forme de V renvers\u00e9!<\/p>\n

Owly Sulphur Much more common, this other species are emerging from the ground in many flowery fields around my area. When they perch, they close their wings in an upside down V shape as soon as the sun is hidden.Females here, some ready to lay their eggs into the ground:<\/p>\n
