Des centaines de chenilles de Nymphalis antiopa (L.) dans les saules
AbstractIn the spring of 2010, contrasting with previous years, a large number of Nymphalis antiopa were seen in the Callas locality (The Var, 83). During this time, the courtship flight as well as mating was studied. At the beginning of June, more than 14 caterpillar nests were found in willows (Salix alba and S .caprea). In order to study the various stages of the caterpillars' development, some caterpillars were taken into captivity.
