susanne-kasimir 的日誌

There is a lot of confusion about the status of those two beetles. Since I have now seen them both, I think I am able to separate them.
Henosepilachna angusticollis is the species I see here regularly - more or less daily and all year round.

It lives (exclusively?) on squirting cucumber (Ecballium elaterium)
It has a pointed end and to me it seems it is paler and has slightly smaller spots than H. argus.

Henosepilachna argus lives on Bryonia sp, here on Bryonia cretica.

It is more rounded, a bit redder and has slightly larger spots.

Now that I've suddenly got this project about organisms about which I know ZERO, I thought it might be helpful to collect some literature about identifying mould.
Please add whatever you find in the comments.

Here are the first I found:
