Lampides boeticus ( Linnaeus , 1767 ) |
|
Betica (historical and toponymic) is an ancient province of Rome [2] .
Eye covered with sparse protruding hairs. The length of the front wing is 14-18 mm. The edge of the front wings is straight. The hind wings are also rounded with a noticeable tail on the Cu2 vein. Well-pronounced sexual dimorphism of individuals (males are blue-violet above, females brownish with a blue base on top). The pattern of the underside of the wings consists of many longitudinal gray-beige stripes. An ocellus is located on the hind wing at the anal angle, centered by silver-blue scales [2] .
Distributed in the tropical and subtropical zone of Eurasia , Africa and Australia [2] .
In most of Eastern Europe, the species is found only as a migrant, without forming permanent populations . There are few findings of migratory specimens in Poland , Slovakia and Romania . In Ukraine, only a few finds of this species are known in Odessa , Poltava regions, in the vicinity of the Dnieper . Also, the species is regularly observed in Crimea [2] . On the territory of Russia, migrant individuals of the pea polyommatus were found in many areas, mainly in the Volga region , the Urals and in the North Caucasus . The northernmost finds of migratory individuals of this species were made for European Russia in the Moscow Region, Udmurtia , Bashkiria , etc. [2] . A fairly regular pea polyommatus is observed on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus [2] . It has temporary populations off the coasts of the Japanese and Black Seas .
In the mountains rises to an altitude of 1700 m above sea level.
It lives in areas with grassy vegetation of various types, rocky slopes, wastelands, woodlands, slopes covered with bushes, occasionally in parks, gardens, farmland, in green spaces [2] .
In Eastern Europe, butterflies are found mainly in late summer and autumn. In part, they are represented by migrating individuals, and in part, possibly, by the offspring of females from subtropical regions that arrived in spring or early summer. Caterpillars feed on the flowers and fruits of various types of legumes. They pupate inside the fruit or on the stems of fodder plants. The species is myrmecophile , associated with ants of the species Lasius niger , Camponotus compressus , Camponotus cruetatus , Camponotus sylvaticus , Camponotus foreli , Prenolepis clandestina, Tapinoma melanocephalum and others [2] .
Caterpillar Feed Plants
Arboreal vesicle , vesicle (Colutea sp.), Gorse (Genista sp.), Ordinary beans , sowing peas [2] .
In countries of the subtropical regions, pea polyommatus is noted as a pest of legumes, in particular beans and peas [2] .
