Nectar sources of Iberian Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera)

Více o knize

Zygaenidae moths serve as vital pollinators in ecosystems, engaging in mutualistic relationships with plants. They obtain nectar while assisting in fertilization, enabling seed production. Active during twilight, these diurnal moths are often avoided by predators due to their ability to release hydrocyanic acid, which facilitates complex mimicry. With a well-developed proboscis, they feed on a variety of flowers, including orchids, highlighting their significant role in pollination and biodiversity.
