Orchamus yersini (Brunner, 1882)

Habitat:
Orchamus yersini inhabits maquis, open woodlands and othe bushy, dry and warm habitats.

Life cycle:
In Samos, I met adults in May 2014. They can be observed only singly in low densities and usually rest on twigs of bushes or truncs. I recorded a female crossing a road.

Remarks:
Orchamus yersini is recorded in a few places in Greece (e.g. Samos, Rhodes, W-Greece) and parts of W-Asia (e.g. Syria). Especially because of closely related taxa the knowledge of its distribution is still incomplete.
