Hallo,
ich würde hier jetzt zu Apethymus serotinus tendieren weil ich die 12 runden schwarzen Flecken substigmal bei meinem Tier vermisse. Aber wahrschlich wird man die Larve ohne Zucht nicht sicher ansprechen können, oder?
Hello,
as far as I understand, there is no consensus on the number and names of species in this genus.
Even if you are trying to identify imago using different authors, you can get different results, not to mention the larvae.
You can see a discussion of one example here: https://www.insecte.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=204226 (https://www.insecte.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=204226)
Let me ask you, in turn, which source did you use to identify A. cereus larva?
Hello,
first: thank you very much for your assessement and for the link. :blink:
So it´s better to title the larva as Apethymus spec.
Let me ask you, in turn, which source did you use to identify A. cereus larva
I found similar pictures in the internet and the foodplant mached....
Yes, I think Apethymus spec. is safe enough.
