Top 18 Most Common Insects in Kyrenia

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.

An unusually large and heavy species of moth, large yellow underwing (Noctua pronuba) is dreaded by gardeners for the larvae's habit of causing fatal damage to the base of virtually any herbaceous plant. Large migrations occur some years, but how those years are determined is not yet known. Its contrasting colors (yellow-orange and brown) are thought to confuse would-be predators.

Aiolopus thalassinus is a species of grasshopper belonging to the family Acrididae, subfamily Oedipodinae. It is present in many countries of Europe (but not the British Isles or Scandinavia), and in the Afrotropical realm to Asia and the Pacific islands. The colouration of this species is generally from clear brown to dark brown. Females have a size of 21–29 mm and males of 15–19 mm.

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.

The adult males reach 2 - 4 mm in length, while females are 7 - 8 mm long. The two pairs of the front legs, used for hunting the flower-feeding insects, are more developed than the rear ones, which have a predominant motor function. Mature males have a black abdomen with two white marks. In mature females, the background colour of the abdomen can be red, yellow or white, with a black pattern which has been noted for a certain resemblance to the silhouette of Napoleon. Prosoma and legs are black or dark brown.

This beetle measures between 41 and 55 mm in body length and is among the largest of the European beetle species. It has an elongated, robust body and, like all members of the longhorn family, it has long antennae. In males, these thread-like antennae are longer than the body, but in females they are only as long as the hard wing cases (the elytra). The legs and body are black, except for the elytra which are reddish-brown towards the tips.

S. fatua Frr. (= allionii Hbn). Very similar to the preceding [ statilinus ] , mostly larger ; differs on the upper- side in having a dark submarginal line, and on the underside in the hindwing being more unicolorous and bearing mostly 2 deeply dentate black curved lines across the central area. Hindwing above often very pale in the distal area. Greece; Asia Minor. — sichaea Led. (44c) is a very large form from Syria, with the underside of the hindwing prominently marmorated. — wyssi Christ. (44c), from the Canaries now a full species, is midway between the last two forms, some specimens approaching nymotypical fatua, others being nearer to sichaea. — sylvicola Aust. (44c) [now H. statilinus sylvicola (Austaut, 1880) resembles above the nymotypical form, the underside of the hindwing, however, being entirely uniformly brown-grey and completely without markings. It occurs in West Algeria and was obtained at the same place as hansii, but flies in September, while hansii was caught in July. The status of these North African forms has not yet completely been cleared up. — The species, like the statilinus forms, prefer sandy soil and pine forests. On the Canary Islands the butterflies have been observed flying about the rocks on the coast and settling with preference on that side of the trunks of Pinus canariensis which faces the sun. According to Staudinger specimens of fatua are sometimes on the wing at night, entering the lit up windows and coming to the lantern. The butterflies fly from June to October. The larvae feed on various types of grass.

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.

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.
