Top 20 Most Common Insects in Onesti

With its bright white and black-spotted wings, the white ermine moth perhaps gets its name from the small mammals called ermines, which turn a vibrant white in the winter. This lovely insect is a delight to spot in the wild and can be found in many habitats all around the world.

The white plume moth is a distinctive insect with a wingspan of 26 to 34 mm (1.0 to 1.3 in). The adult is pure white, the wings being divided into five slender feather-like plumes, two forming part of the forewing and three part of the hind wing. The insect is nocturnal, emerging at dusk, and is on the wing during June and July. The larvae are green, with a yellow dorsal stripe and tufts of pale hairs.

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.

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.

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.

The common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) is otherwise known as the common yellow-jacket. Despite what the name may make you believe, these industrious insects will look for a free space in a rock crevice, mammal hole, or tree to build its paper nests. This makes them pretty extraordinary, as these nests can host several thousand larvae. Queens can go through a long process in finding the perfect nest.

The adult moth's forewing is 13 to 16 mm (0.51 to 0.63 inches) long, and the wingspan is 25 to 30 mm (0.98 to 1.18 inches). Forewings are black slightly dusted with grey. Lines are whitish, the subbasal ending in a grey-edged black spot on inner margin; the inner is obliquely curved outwards; the outer is angled at vein 6, indented on 4 and angled inwards below vein 2, running upwards and outwards below reniform, then downwards again parallel to its former course, and finally running in to the inner line above inner margin. Orbicular stigma is a round black spot with grey outline; reniform large and black, edged externally by a white bar, which often emits a narrow pale line externally from its middle subterminal line sinuous, double, somewhat lunulate, with dark centre and pale-scaled edges, except at costa where it is single and white, preceded by oblong black spots separated by the pale veins. Hindwings have the cell ochreous white, containing a black cellspot; outer and subterminal sinuous series of ochreous white spots between the veins. Fringe of both wings are mottled black and white, with pale line at base; underside is ochreous white. The larva is yellowish with a dorsal line dark, finely pale in centre and with several fine wavy lines on each side. The spiracular line is broad, dark reddish brown, edged below with yellow or red.

Amata phegea reaches a wingspan of 3.5 - 4 cm . Males are smaller than females and have thicker antennae. Wings are blueish black or greenish black with white spots and metallic sheen. The number and the size of spots are quite variable. Usually there are six white spots on the front wings and two or three spots on the hind wings. The body is quite long, with yellow spot on the second segment of the abdomen. A further feature is the prominent yellow ring at the sixth segment of the abdomen. The black thread-like antennae have white tips. The caterpillars can reach a length of about 5 cm . They are gray-black with thick dark brown, fluffy hairs that grow from small growths. The head is reddish-brown.

Idaea serpentata, the ochraceous wave, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by Johann Siegfried Hufnagel in 1767. It is found in most of continental Europe and the Near East. The wingspan is about 22 mm. The adults fly from late June to early August. They are attracted to light. The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants such as Galium, Taraxacum, Rumex and Thymus.

The european wolf spider (Hogna radiata) is a dark brown spider that lives among dry grass or open woods. During mating season, females will dig shallow burrows in the ground to lay their eggs in. Like other wolf spiders (Lycosidae), this species is generally harmless to humans, but it can cause a painful bite if provoked.
