Imago Habitus and Differences from alike species

  • Длина переднего крыла составляет 2 см. В зависимости от формы может иметь базовый черный либо оранжевый цвет крыльев. Весенняя форма (бабочки первого поколения — f. levana L.) имеет гораздо более светлую, желто-оранжевую окраску крыльев с черными пятнами на них, для испода крыльев характерен белый сетчатый рисунок на оранжевом фоне. Летняя форма (f. prorsa L.) разительно отличается от весенней — бабочки второго поколения не рыжие, а черные, с белыми либо желтоватыми полосками на крыльях и небольшими оранжевыми пятнами. Местами может встречаться и третье поколение пестрокрыльниц — f. porima, которая походит на весеннюю генерацию сочетанием оранжевого и черного в окраске, но отличается рисунком черных пятен на крыльях. [85].

General info about Imago

  • Изменчивая пестрокрыльница летает по лесным дорогам, на лугах и влажных лесах, предпочитая более влажные и тенистые места, где растет крапива. [85].

Imago lifespan

  • Дает два поколения — с конца апреля до середины июня и с середины июля до августа, местами до сентября. Изредка дает неполное 3-е поколение. [85].

General info about Larva

  • Расцветка гусеницы черно-коричневая. В начале жизненного цикла личинки живут группами, позднее — поодиночке; будучи вспугнутыми, падают с листьев кормового растения на землю. Развитие гусениц длится около четырех недель. [85].

Larva food plants / other food objects

  • Urtica. [28].
  • Только крапива. [85].

Larva lifespan

  • Первое поколение личинок Araschnia levana живет с августа до сентября, второе — с мая—июня до июля. [85].

Egg

  • Кладка из цепочки овальных зеленоватых яиц крепится к нижней поверхности листа растения. [85].

Overwintering stage

  • Зимует куколка. [85].

That tree taxa general form appeared - my oversight. Now they are removed from there. And, of course, no bindings fot the forms should not be only to taxa. He returned the pictures back. The forms are recorded only in the specification for photos or comments to her.

Alexander is a distinct seasonal forms for which there is a description.
Yes, I just suffered one and saw that good at it, though. And it is more convenient for the average user.
And so, yes, absolutely agree: chaos is not needed.
Because other types did not carry such a well-Makar: only made an exception for this kind where a lot of great photos.Though in the order cited :)

Basil, the form can not be ahead of the subspecies, the type is divided into subtypes, which may be presented in different forms. The forms do not have codes sistimatike. They are used for convenience. I will not discuss this issue. Let Peter decides, but any deviations from the system leads to chaos.

20.08.2015 10:16, Vasiliy Feoktistov

How should it look for this specific form where 3 codes are known form .. I think so.
All forms are placed on shelves:
Spring in the same block.
Summer in another block.
And in each block are invited to download the photo concrete form.
And directly on the page type has all photos.Subspecies name (if any will be picked up at this level), then we can add a second line.
The question is:
I look at the page of the form and the type subspecies dumped in a heap. That should not be.
Must be individually.

Basil, if you put the name of the form in the box for the subspecies, the Estestenno it will be perceived as a subspecies.Peter also stipulated that the bottom line is to form, what was the name of the form to put in place the names of subspecies? Think logically now to indicate on your form printsepu subspecies in the upper line have to write four words, the program stand?When there is not a standard question, YSU is best to first discuss and then we carry. :))
General now looks dumb gallery view. :(

Who I spread views on the forms and drew attention to the fact that in the form autosubstitution subspecies jump.
Peter, you have to fix it. The forms are not subspecies. There are only two subspecies: A. l. sachalinensis Shriôzu, 1952 and A. l. wladimiri Kardakov, 1928 .
And twice the specified A. l. levana. : Remove excess.
