Chrysis indigotea

Postby Paul » 16 Aug 2016 19:38

Hi folks,

two days ago I got a new species for the area of my village.
In my opinion it should be a female of C. indigotea, but you can correct me if I'm wrong.
They are very late this year, normally at this time their season is almost finished.

Best regards Paul

Hi Paul,

:ok:

interesting.
In southern Europe you can find C. indigotea until late September or October on dead trees and Quercus leaves.

Cheers

Hi Paolo,

I should visit south Europe in autumn...
Kunz noticed June-August for flying and I understood that he meant the beginning of August cause when a species is listed till the end of the month, he wrote it down. Linsenmayer also noticed June- August.
In the Rhine-area, where I know a few places for them, I saw them til the End of July.
And at that time I got only females. But, of course, it can be that they stay longer.
In every location I saw them flying together with C. fulgida. Both I saw yesterday the last time. With fulgida the same: only females at this moment. For fulgida Kuntz noticed June- Mid of August, what fits with my latest dates. Maybe the warming-up of the earth allows them a longer period step by step.
Best regards Paul

... yes, you were right, Paolo!
The pity is that now one good reason for visiting the south has gone...
Yesterday I've found a C. viridula, what is also very late for our region.
In my literature (Kunz, Linsenmaier, Wiesniowski etc.) they are listed til the mid of august.
Maybe in a few years we can observe them on christmas...
All the best Paul
