Lindenschwärmer

Lime Hawk-moth

Er ist ein Kulturfolger.

So nennt man Tiere, die sich an vom Menschen stark beeinflussten urbanen Siedlungsbereich gut anpassen können.

Dazu gehört auch der Lindenschwärmer.

Er legt seine Eier mit Vorliebe an Linden ab und die können auch in Alleen und Parks in Städten stehen.

Vor ein paar Jahren hatte ich im Lepiforum gelesen, wie man die Anwesenheit dieser Raupen dort ganz einfach nachweisen und auch suchen kann.

Diese haben nämlich die Angewohnheit, ein halb aufgefressenes Blatt am Stiel durchzubeißen, dass dann zu Boden fällt und auf dem Asphalt gut zu entdecken und zuzuordnen ist, da die Fraßspur sehr charakteristisch ist.

❁ Centro Habana, Cuba ❁

☛ Casa Mima, like embroidery - a colonial style building built in the 1920s. One of the many 'Casa Particular' (Bed and Breakfast) of Centro Habana, Cuba. You can admire many interesting and colorful buildings dating from the late 18th century and the 19th century in the Centro Habana district. Many are worn by time and many are undergoing renovation. But the fact remains that they are fascinating and a visit is a must ... on foot, of course!

On peut admirer de nombreux bâtiments intéressants et très colorés datant de la fin du 18ème siècle et du 19ème siècle dans le quartier Centro Habana. Beaucoup sont usés par le temps et beaucoup sont en cours de rénovation. Mais le fait demeure qu'ils sont fascinants et une visite s’impose ... à pied, bien sûr !

A beautiful lime hawk-moth was a surprise sighting in a garden centre last Saturday. I moved him to some hedging, as he was perched on a tray of bedding plants!

North Thoresby, Lincolnshire

Another insect that has colonised Ireland in recent years, first being recorded in 2010 - with residence confirmed in 2015. Interestingly the beachhead has been formed in north Dublin as opposed to the southern coast where other recent colonists have become established. It isn’t restricted to Lime as Birch and Alder regularly host the species and other tree species may be used as well.

This one was a welcome surprise in the garden last year.

Google search came up with three translations for the name 'Mima'.

Hebrew: Dove

Spanish (Cuba): a term of endearment for mother

Yiddish: Auntie

And because a little free library was erected in her memory, that makes her alright with me...in any language.
