The Mennigrote Dost glass winged ( Chamaesphecia chalciformis ), also called the wasp glass winged , is a butterfly from the family of the glass winged (Sesiidae).
features
The moths reach a wingspan of 12-17 millimeters. The wings have a very elongated shape. The front wings are red mennig and basal black. The leading edge of the wing shines greenish black and the glass fields are well developed. The scaly, wedge-shaped surface in the middle cell of the forewing (anterior transparent area) which starts from the base has receded. The scaleless elongated area under the central cell on the inner edge of the forewing (posterior transparent area) is indistinctly delimited. The outer glass field in the basal part of the fore wing outer field (external transparent area) is three-celled, very small and can be almost completely scaly in the females. The black central point is rounded and bordered in red on both sides. The hem is colored black-brown, broad and indistinctly limited on the inside. The apical band is broad and brownish. The cross vein on the hind wings is thinly scales. The antennae are black. The labial palps are smooth and black. In the males they are white above and inside, in the females they are also white below. Forehead ( frons ) and body are glossy greenish black. The vertex is mixed with yellow. The front coxa are white. The middle and hind tibia are mennig red, basal and broadly black at the distal end. The posterior tibiae are ringed black at the end. The first limbs of the hind legs are partially hairless. The abdomen is monochrome blue-black to black and has no ring. The anal tuft is red in the middle.

distribution
The Mennigrote Dost glass winged bird is rare and only occurs locally. Evidence is available from the French Savoy , northern Italy ( Lombardy , Veneto , Apennine Peninsula, Lake Garda region ), Lower Austria , southern Slovakia, Hungary , the Balkans , the northern Black Sea coast, Ukraine and southern Russia. The species is also known from Crete and Turkey. Information for Sicily requires confirmation.
biology
The Mennigrote Dost-Glasflügler inhabits steppes, rock heaths, ruderal areas and secondary locations such as abandoned vineyards from the plains to middle mountain ranges. The caterpillars develop on Genuine Dost ( Origanum vulgare ) or other mint family (Lamiaceae) where they first feed in the roots and later in the rhizomes. The eating activity is not externally visible on the host plant. Whether the whorled sage ( Salvia verticillata ) is one of the food plants needs to be confirmed. The moths visit flowers such as those of the dwarf elder ( Sambucus ebulus ), but mostly stay in the vicinity of the host plants. The species forms one generation per year. The moths fly from May to August and are active from noon until late in the afternoon. They can be attracted with pheromones.
