Hyles Siehei
''Hyles siehei'' is a moth of the family Sphingidae. It is known in southern and eastern Turkey, Armenia, northern Syria, northern Iraq and northern Iran. The wingspan is 65–70 mm for ssp. ''siehei'' and 55–65 mm for ssp. ''svetlana''. Adults of ssp. ''siehei'' are on wing from late May to June in one generation. Adults of ssp. ''svetlana'' are on wing from late April to late May (with a peak in mid-May), also in one generation. The larvae of ssp. ''siehei'' mainly feed on the seed- and flower-heads of ''Eremurus'' species, such as ''Eremurus himalaicus'', ''Eremurus olgae'', ''Eremurus robustus'', ''Eremurus krudica'' and ''Eremurus stenophyllus'', but have also been recorded on the seedheads of ''Asphodelus'' and ''Asphodeline'' species. Larvae of ssp. ''svetlana'' have also been recorded feeding on the flower- and seedheads ''Eremurus'' species, especially ''Eremurus sogriganus'', ''Eremurus inderiensis'' and ''Eremurus ambigens''.

Moth
Moths are a group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not Butterfly, butterflies. They were previously classified as suborder Heterocera, but the group is Paraphyly, paraphyletic with respect to butterflies (suborder Rhopalocera) and neither subordinate taxon is used in modern classifications. Moths make up the vast majority of the order. There are approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, although there are also crepuscular and Diurnal animal, diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the Butterfly, butterflies form a monophyly, monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae a ...

Eremurus Krudica
''Eremurus'' is a genus of deciduous perennial flowers in the family Asphodelaceae. They are also known as the foxtail lilies or desert candles. They are native to eastern Europe in (Russia and Ukraine), and temperate Asia from Turkey to China, with many species in Central Asia. The inflorescence consists of a tall floral spike whose individual flowers extend their anthers around the stem axis as in the bottle brushes. Depending on the species, the spike consists of many densely-arranged, small flowers in shades of orange, yellow, white, pale pink or red-orange. The grey-green, straplike leaves grow in a tuft from the succulent root crown. Eremurus is known for its thick, fingerlike roots, which grow from a central growth point. The blooming spike is notably tall and relatively narrow, rising from 3 to 9 or 10 feet above the foliage, depending on the species. These plants are mainly native to western and Central Asia, although ''Eremurus thiodanthus'' is endemic to the Crimea. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Asphodeline
''Asphodeline'' is a genus of perennial plants in the family Asphodelaceae, first described as a genus in 1830. It is native to the eastern Mediterranean region and the Middle East from Italy and Algeria east to Iran.Dobignard, D. & Chatelain, C. (2010). Index synonymique de la flore d'Afrique du nord 1: 1-455. Éditions des conservatoire et jardin botaniques, Genève. ''Asphodeline'' has fleshy roots and fragrant, starry flowers that are yellow in May to June. It grows up to 4 ft in well-drained soil. Its foliage is blue-green and grassy, with tall, narrow flower spikes. It takes at least three years before newly planted seedlings flower. The yellow flowers always make an interesting addition to the late-spring garden. The individual flowers on the spikes open in a seemingly random order, and do not last long, being replaced quickly by other flowers. ;Species # '' Asphodeline anatolica'' Tuzlaci - Turkey # '' Asphodeline baytopiae'' Tuzlaci - Turkey, Syria # ''Asphodeline ...

Asphodelus
''Asphodelus'' is a genus of mainly perennial flowering plants in the asphodel family Asphodelaceae that was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. The genus was formerly included in the lily family (Liliaceae). The genus is native to temperate Europe (mostly the south of Europe), the Mediterranean, Africa, the Middle East, and the Indian Subcontinent, and some species have been introduced to, and are now naturalized in, other places such as New Zealand, Australia, Mexico and southwestern United States. Many asphodels are popular garden plants, which grow in well-drained soils with abundant natural light. Character The plants are hardy herbaceous perennials with narrow tufted radical leaves and an elongated stem bearing a handsome spike of white or yellow flowers. '' Asphodelus albus'' and '' A. fistulosus'' have white flowers and grow from high; '' A. ramosus'' is a larger plant, the large white flowers of which have a reddish-brown line in the middle of each segment.

Eremurus Stenophyllus
''Eremurus stenophyllus'', the narrow-leaved foxtail lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae, native to central Asia. Description It is an herbaceous perennial growing to tall and broad, with narrow strap-shaped leaves. Racemes composed of small yellow flowers appear in summer. The flowers darken to brown from the base, forming a two-tone effect with age. Taxonomy Two subspecies are listed, '' E. stenophyllus'' subsp. '' ambigens'', and '' E. stenophyllus'' subsp. ''aurantiacus''. The specific epithet ''stenophyllus'' is derived from the Greek ''stenos'' (narrow) and ''phyllon'' (leaf) to give "with narrow leaves". Retrieved 3 December 2018. Horticulture This plant is grown as a garden perennial for a sunny border, and has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit The Award of Garden Merit (AGM) is a long-established award for plants by the British Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).

Eremurus Robustus
''Eremurus robustus'', the foxtail lily or giant desert candle, is a species of flowering plant in the asphodel family, native to the Tien Shan and Pamir Mountains in Central Asia, that is often used as an ornamental plant. It is a very tall, narrow plant with a stem high, and leaves up to in length and in width - the widest in its genus. The deciduous leaves can vary in colour from bright green to bluish-green. The inflorescence grows to in length and is covered with many deep to pale pink or white flowers, across. At the base of each flower is a brown blotch with a green keel. The pedicels of the flowers are longest in those at the base of the inflorescence, decreasing in length toward its tip, while the flowers themselves, numbering some 700 to 800 per inflorescence, begin to bloom in June. By the time of flowering, the leaves will usually have already shrivelled. The Latin specific epithet ''robustus'' means "sturdy, growing strongly" (the species is the largest of it ...

Sphingidae
The Sphingidae are a family of moths commonly called sphinx moths, also colloquially known as hawk moths, with many of their caterpillars known as hornworms. It includes about 1,450 species. It is best represented in the tropics, but species are found in every region.Scoble, Malcolm J. (1995): ''The Lepidoptera: Form, Function and Diversity'' (2nd edition). Oxford University Press & Natural History Museum London. They are moderate to large in size and are distinguished among moths for their agile and sustained flying ability, similar enough to that of hummingbirds as to be reliably mistaken for them. Their narrow wings and streamlined abdomens are adaptations for rapid flight. The family was named by French zoologist Pierre André Latreille in 1802. Some hawk moths, such as the hummingbird hawk-moth or the Hyles lineata, white-lined sphinx, hover in midair while they feed on nectar from flowers, so are sometimes mistaken for hummingbirds. This hovering capability is only known ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
