If you'd like to learn more about the cherry gall azure here's the 2005 paper by Pavulaan and Wright that describes it. #lepidoptera #galls #prunus #butterflies #lycaenidae #entomology #insects https://leplog.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/pavulaan-wright-2005-c-serotina.pdf

If you have a black cherry loaded with spindle-shaped leaf galls, keep your eyes peeled for the omnivorous caterpillar that feeds on them, the cherry gall azure (Celastrina serotina). #lepidoptera #galls #prunus #butterflies #lycaenidae #entomology #insects https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/82888035

A muscular tree ant, Podomyrma adelaidae, tends to a Lycaenid caterpillar. These caterpillars secrete substances that the ants find attractive, and the ants in turn provide protection from parasites. Poochera, South Australia. #insects #ants #Podomyrma #Lycaenidae

Welcher Bläuling könnte das sein? Der Falter zeigte nicht seine Flügeloberseiten, die eher wenig blau erschienen. Die Blüten der Erdbeerminze interessierten ihn sehr.

Nebenbei: Was saugt an unseren Lippenblütlern und anderen Pflanzen im Garten, so dass sie diese weißen, braun werdenden Läsionen (Flecken auf den Blättern) bekommen?
