Rhogogaster punctulata · pjūklelis

  • Twin-spotted Rhogogaster
  • szczerbatek punktowany

It is widespread in most of Europe. It can be found along hedgerows and woodland rides. On the head, the black markings that enclose the ocelli are open at the front to form a ω-shape. The tergites are mainly green with two black spots laterally. These dots are sometimes fused and rarely absent. The tarsal pulvilli (pads) are very small in both sexes being about one-fifth the length of the next tarsal segment. It flies V-VI and is found along hedgerows and woodland rides. The adult is predatory, catching small insects, but the larvae feed on a variety of tree and shrub leaves.
