Die Marienkäfer (Coccinellidae) sind eine weltweit verbreitete Familie halbkugeliger, flugfähiger Käfer, deren Deckflügel meist eine unterschiedliche Anzahl von auffälligen Punkten aufweisen. Viele Arten ernähren sich von Blatt- und Schildläusen.
Die Marienkäfer sind bei der Bevölkerung beliebt und tragen die unterschiedlichsten Namen in der jeweiligen lokalen Umgangssprache. Die Beliebtheit begründet sich unter anderem darin, dass sie im Gartenbau und der Landwirtschaft nützlich sind, da sie allein in ihrer Larvenzeit je nach Art bis zu 3.000 Pflanzenläuse oder Spinnmilben fressen. Sie sind in ihrem Aussehen variabel, was ihre Bestimmung erschwert. Dieselbe Art kann in dutzenden Mustervarianten auftreten. Manche, wie etwa der Luzerne-Marienkäfer, erreichen sogar über 4.000 gezählte Varianten. Früher wurden diese Varianten innerhalb derselben Art mit eigenen Namen belegt, beispielsweise beim Zweipunkt-Marienkäfer (Adalia bipunctata) mit über 150 Bezeichnungen, die allerdings heute nicht mehr verwendet werden und wissenschaftlich bedeutungslos sind. Bei manchen Untergruppen – etwa innerhalb der Unterfamilie Scymninae – kann eine Bestimmung schwierig sein und zuverlässig nur aufgrund einer Untersuchung der Genitalorgane erfolgen. Neben den Genitalien sind die Kopfkapsel, der Kopfschild und die Fühleransätze oft zuverlässige Unterscheidungsmerkmale ähnlicher Arten.
Die Käfer können gut f.liegen und erreichen 75 bis 91 Flügelschläge pro Sekunde. Manche Arten wie der Licht-Marienkäfer (Calvia decemguttata) werden in der Nacht durch künstliches Licht angelockt. Das lässt auf nächtliche Ausbreitungsflüge schließen

Binomial name
Gonepteryx rhamni
Habitat: This species is distributed locally where larval food plant is found, mainly in limestone areas of the midlands and west of Ireland.
It has only one annual brood.
Flight Times: The adult may be found at almost any time except mid-summer.
Larval food plants:
Buckthorn Rhamnus catharticus
Alder Buckthorn Frangula alnus
Hibernation: Overwinters as an adult butterfly
The male Brimstone is often found quite a long distance from its food plant.
The Brimstone hibernates as an adult but often comes out of hibernation on mild, sunny winter days returning later to resume hibernation.
Life Cycle of the Brimstone
Ovum:
The bottle shaped eggs are laid singly on the underside of leaves or shoots. They can be laid up to a height of 4 metres or more, between mid-April and the beginning of July, but peaking in May and early June.
They are c.1.3mm in height and initially nearly white in colour but after a few days become a deep yellow turning grey before hatching. The egg stage lasts c.2 weeks.
Larva:
The mature larva is between 32-34 mm in length with a green body which changes to a blue-green on the lateral surfaces above the white supra-spiracular line. The body is finely speckled with black bristles as is the green head. Larvae can be found in June and July. The early instar rests on the upper side
of the leaf along the midrid with it claspers at the base and feeds by eating down through the
layers leaving the characteristic holes, the later instar rests on the leaf edge or along a petiole
and eats the entire leaf. The larval stage lasts for c. 30 days.
Pupa:
When fully fed the larva leaves the food plant to pupate at a suitable site - generally the underside of a leaf or stem in low vegetation. The pupa is attached to the plant by the cresmater and supported by a loose silken girdle.
Pupation takes place in July and lasts c. 2 weeks.
Adult:
After emerging in early July the Brimstone butterfly is active untill the end of September but does not mate and lay eggs until the following spring. Instead it feeds extensively in order to fortify itself for hibernation.
It has a preference for purple and mauve flowers such as thistle, purple loosestrife, buddleia and teasle.
Towards the end of September it goes in search of a suitable hibernation site.
The upperside of the male Brimstone wings are a clear lemon yellow but the hindwings have a slightly greener hue. There is an orange spot in the centre of each forewing near the upper margin and in the centre of both hindwings, and a series of small brown spots along the wing margins at the termination of each vein.
The female Brimstone has much paler upper wings with a green tint.
Both male and female have sharply angled wings and prominent veins and when at rest the colour and shape of their closed wings closely resemble pale yellow leaves. This gives perfect camouflage while overwintering among the holly, ivy or bramble leaves between September and May.

65-70mm (2.37 inches)
[Small Tortoiseshell 50mm]
This migrant butterfly is somewhat like a dull version of the Small Tortoiseshell.
It is predominantly a dull orange with black markings and has a very colourful red, black and white underside.
They do not survive the winter here.
Description
The Painted Lady is a long-distant migrant which arrives in Ireland in early Summer. They are a large butterfly (wingspan of 5-9cm) and are identified by the black and white corners of its mainly deep orange, black-spotted wings.
4 Stages of the Butterfly Lifecycle
The lifecycle of the Painted Lady has four stages and takes approximately 21 days.
1 - Egg
Adult female butterflies lay their eggs on plants that Painted Lady caterpillars like to eat, like thistle. The eggs are the size of a pin-head, each one containing a caterpillar beginning to grow.
2 - Caterpillar
Once the caterpillar hatches, it uses its strong jaws to munch through leaves, eating constantly and growing quickly. As it eats, the caterpillar’s skin gets tighter. Soon it sheds this tight skin, emerging with new skin underneath. Each caterpillar changes skin four times before it is fully grown. After three weeks, this hairy, black and yellow caterpillar stops growing - it’s almost 2 inches long.
3 - Chrysalis
The caterpillar finds a safe place to rest. With a silk thread that comes out of a hole just below its mouth (spinneret), the caterpillar spins a silk pad to attach to. The caterpillar hangs from this pad. Soon, the caterpillar’s skin splits open, from head to abdomen, revealing a shiny green case underneath—the chrysalis.
4 - Butterfly
Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar is becoming completely liquid and reforming itself into a butterfly. The butterfly pushes from inside and slowly struggles out, until the case splits open. When the butterfly first emerges from the chrysalis, its wings are soft and crumpled. The tired butterfly rests, and then slowly unfolds its wings to dry. After a few hours, the butterfly will be ready to fly. During that time, its main goal is to reproduce and lay eggs so the cycle can begin all over again.
The Migration
The Painted Lady carries out the most spectacular migration of all the butterflies that travel to Ireland each year. In early summer they take on the mammoth migration from the desert fringes of Morocco, travel through mainland Europe, across the Irish sea to reach Ireland. They can cover up to 2000km in as little as a month, quite an achievement for such a fragile little animal. Painted Ladies travel to Ireland to escape the intense summer heat of the desert. Until recently it was thought that it was a one-way migration to Ireland and that they died here, however, it has just been discovered that Irish born Painted Ladies actually make the return journey to Africa flying at high altitudes which previously went undetected. This ensures Morocco has enough butterflies to send our way the following summer.
Energy
They can be seen feeding on a wide range of plants, but in Ireland adult butterflies are most commonly seen sipping on sweet thistle nectar. Mallows and Common nettles have also been recorded as larval food plants.
Conservation
Populations of Painted Ladies seem to be healthy but many of their wintering sites are unknown, therefore it is difficult to protect them there.
In 2009 Ireland and the UK witnessed an extraordinary number of Painted Lady Butterflies arriving on our shores. There were reports of clouds of these flying insects arriving en-masse. The reason for this went all the way back to a heavy rainfall in the Atlas Mountains in Morocco - the heaviest in 30 years - which caused a strong growth of the food plants of the Painted Lady caterpillars. Within weeks waves of these butterflies were crossing the Mediterranean and making their way to Ireland.
