Top 19 Most Common Insects in Barda

1. Goldenrod crab spider

Rather than for its coloring, goldenrod crab spider (Misumena vatia) is named for its tendency to hunt within sprays of goldenrod. This species is capable of catching and consuming prey several times larger than itself, such as dragonflies or grasshoppers. Loyal parents, the females will guard their eggs until they hatch and the tiny spiders disperse, after which the female will die.

2. Dark spreadwing

This species is up to 48 millimeters long. It is similar to other common Lestes species but it is darker in color with more blue pruinescence. The pterostigmata are large and black.

3. White-legged damselfly

The white-legged damselfly or blue featherleg (Platycnemis pennipes) is a damselfly of slow-flowing, muddy waters. It occurs from the Atlantic to Siberia and is often abundant throughout its range.

4. Sallow kitten

The sallow kitten is grey/white and has a wingspan of 27 to 35 mm. The first part of the wing has a large grey middle band. It differs from the poplar kitten (Furcula bifida) in its generally smaller size, but more especially in the shape of the black line forming the outer margin of the central band; this is always more or less angled or dentate towards the front margin of the wings, whereas, in the poplar kitten, this portion of the line forms a clean curve. The flight period ranges from April to the end of August. Depending on location the moth has one or two generations per year and is attracted to light. Ova The dark purple, hemispericle eggs are laid in batches of two or three on the upper surface of leaves in May or June and again in August. They hatch after nine days. Larva The caterpillar can grow up to 35 mm and is bright green with a purple brown marking on the saddle and can be found from May through to September. The main host plants are willow (Salix species) and occasionally aspen (Populus tremula) and other poplar (Populus species). Larvae can be found on small isolated moorland bushes. Pupa Before pupation the larva hollows out a recess. The pupa is dark purple-brown and pupation takes place in a tough cocoon constructed from a mixture of chewed wood-pulp and silk.

5. Cercopis intermedia

In South Central Europe, blood clots recruited from two genera Cercopis and Haematoloma with a total of five species. On the Balkan Peninsula, another genus of the bloodshot with the species Triecphorella geniculatus is added to Europe. Species of Cercopidae are native to almost all zoogeographischen regions. In the Palaearctic, the blood sclerosis with only twelve species are represented in the tropics, however, they are very rich in species, with not all species outside Central Europe have this black and red color.

6. Small rivulet

The species is very similar to Perizoma affinitata in colour and pattern but often has a double indention in the inner margin of the band. It is also smaller. "Very similar to affinitata but smaller, with clearer and more regular white marks at the hindmargin of the forewing, tendency towards obsolescence of the pale band on the dark hindwing; distal area of forewing with black dushes on the veins. Generally less variable than affinitata. — peterseni notn. nov. has the white antemedian band well expressed; generally also the postmedian white band is somewhat widened and sometimes even a complete white subbasal is present.

7. Clover hayworm moth

The wingspan is 1.6 - 2.5 cm.

8. Bordeaux cricket

The Eumodicogryllus bordigalensis primarily lives in Europe. However, it has been known to visit various tourist spots and has a fondness for old railyards, such as those spotted in the Czech Republic. They are primarily brownish, but they can be darker as well. They have a sharply defined bright line between their eyes. They are often hiding under stones and gravel.

9. Turkestan cockroach

Turkestan cockroachs generally dwell outside, although the males occasionally come indoors for shelter or due to their attraction to light. In the U.S., this species is sometimes used as food for pet reptiles since they do not climb surfaces or burrow into the ground like other types of cockroaches.

10. Four-spotted chaser

The four-spot (Libellula quadrimaculata) is one of the large dragonflies and reaches a body length of 4 to 4.5 centimeters with wingspan between 7 and 8.5 centimeters. Each of the four wings has a striking dark spot in the area of the distinctive transverse vein (nodus), after which the species received both its scientific and its trivial name. This dragonfly is also known for its mass migrations in swarms of impressive dimensions. The entire stock is not considered to be threatened.

11. Oak spider

These spiders can reach a length of 6 - 8 mm in male, of 1.5 - 1.7 cm in females. They are easy to identify due to their unique abdominal marking in the form of an oak leaf. The head is covered by a grayish-brown hairs, chelicerae are light brown and legs are dark ringed. The abdomen is elongated and oval-shaped.

12. Osiris blue

L. sebrus Bdv. (82 c). Above dull violet-blue (male) or black-brown (female). with the markings of the underside feebly shining through, narrow black margin and white fringes; beneath light ashy grey, the base dusted with blue, the ocelli and the median spot being very delicate. In the Alps, locally plentiful, southwards to Italy, south-eastwards to Asia Minor and eastwards to the Altai. Specimens with the ocelli prolonged occur also in this species, as proved by a fine specimen in Courvoisier's collection: ab. elongata Courr. i. l. — Larva on Onobrychis and Orobus, until April and again in June. The butterflies in the mountains, sporadic, in May and again from the end of June onwards.

13. Black-tailed skimmer

It is a fairly large dragonfly (the length of 4.5 - 5 cm, 3 - 3.5 cm abdomen, rear wing 3.5 - 4 cm.) with relatively broad, flattened abdomen, but not as broad as to chaser species. With age, adult males develop extensive blue pruinescence on their abdomen, offset by yellow lateral patches. The middle lobe of the pronotum is large and notched in the middle. The chest is yellow or yellowish-brown. The base of the hind wings do not show a dark opaque spots. The pterostigma is dark brown or black. On the front wings pterostigma 2 - 3 mm long. Anal appendages are black. The females and immature males are a deep yellow color, with wavy black lines dorsally on their abdomen. Males and females have the costal vein (the leading edge of the wing) yellow or black.

14. Large Banded Grasshopper

Arcyptera fusca can reach a body length of 22–35 millimetres (0.87–1.38 in) in males, while females reach a length of 29–44 millimetres (1.1–1.7 in). These medium-sized grasshopper are characterized by a significant sexual dimorphism. Males have developed functional wings (oft 20–27.3 millimetres (0.79–1.07 in) covering the abdomen, while females have rudimentary wings (of 12.3–20.1 millimetres (0.48–0.79 in)), shorter than abdomen and unfit for flight (brachyptery). The basic body color is ocher or yellow-green, with dark markings. The hind tibiae have a characteristic bright red color that extended to the inner face of femora. The knees are black, surrounded by a white band.

15. Shaded broad-bar

The wingspan is 25–30 mm. The length of the forewings is 16–19 mm. The colouration is highly variable. It ranges from yellow brown, light brown, red brown and grey brown to grey. The forewings have several, mostly parallel, undulate crosslines. There is a prominent broad dark brown band in the median field comprising two distinct shades, the middle being greyer, the edges more ferruginous. In addition, the females are usually brighter yellowish than the males, but both sexes vary in tint. There is also a small apical streak. The hindwings are pale with faint crosslines.

16. Speckled wood

The speckled wood (Pararge aegeria) prefers to live in damp, dark woodlands. Unlike other butterflies, it's more active in shadier habitats rather than sunny ones. Males often fight over a perch, spiraling up to the treetops until they determine a winner. These perches are where the males find passing females.

17. Triple-Spotted Clay

Xestia ditrapezium (triple-spotted clay) is a moth of the family Noctuidae found in most of Europe, northern Turkey, northern Iran, Transcaucasia, Caucasus, central Asia, from the Altai to Ussuri, Amur, Kuril Islands, northern Mongolia, Tibet, China, Korea, and Japan. The wingspan is 35–47 mm. The forewing is darker than in Xestia triangulum Hufn., a smooth vinous brown; the dark markings are not so black; the hindwing is distinctly yellowish-tinged. Differences from X. triangulum: X. ditrapezium forewings on average are narrower (or longer). The ground color of the forewings is usually darker (red to violet-brown) and the color of the rear wing is a shade lighter. The hindwings are significantly lighter than the forewings. The collar is without contrasts, almost monochrome. X. triangulum forewings on average are wider (or shorter). The ground color of the forewings is usually lighter (ochre to tawny or grayish brown); the color of the hindwings is usually slightly darker grey. The hindwings are about as light as the front wings. The lower part of the neck collar is grey, separated by a light line from the dark upper.

18. Green Silver-Lines

Forewing yellow green; costal edge pink, diffused towards apex; inner marginal area pink-suffused, except towards base; inner and outer lines oblique, darker green, conversely edged with white, the outer sometimes pink; subterminal line white, curved into apex: fringe pink with a white line at base; hindwing yellow; fringe pale pink, white at tips from apex to vein 2: abdomen white, dorsally suffused with yellow; in the female the abdomen is white, tinged with brown at base: forewing with costal edge white, and inner margin yellow; hindwing white. In the British form, subspecies P. p. britannica subsp. nov. (53 k), all the three lines are silvery white; the costal and inner margins in the male reddish only at apex and tornus respectively; in the ab. P. p. rufilinea ab. nov. (= ab. 2 Hmps.) (53 k) the outer line is marked with red. Larva apple green coarsely shagreened with yellow; the subdorsal line yellow; segment 2 red rimmed in front. The wingspan is 30–35 mm.

19. Pale-Shouldered Cloud

A. hyperici F. (15 d). Forewing grey; a thick black streak from base below cell, above which the basal area is whitish, and below it dark fuscous reddish; this colour often also filling the cell and submedian fold, and the terminal area beyond subterminal line, which is marked by a series of thick black streaks between the veins; outer line finely lunulate-dentate; orbicular and reniform stigmata brown with pale rings, the former flattened; hindwing brownish, paler in the male; examples from Spain (Andalusia), males have the hindwing white, tinged with grey, and the veins dark: the abdomen pale grey, with the lateral and anal tufts pinkish; a very distinct form which may be called ab. laetior ab. nov.
