Chrysis viridula

Postby Paul » 27 Sep 2016 19:12

Hi,
in the beginning of July I saw this C. viridula in my home-area.
I'm interested if it is possible to explain where the deformation on the head is coming from.
All the best Paul

Hi Paul,

sorry, I have no time for Chrysididae in the last period.

It's a common teratology.
Sometimes this deformation can even separate the compound eye, so that you see 3 compound eyes instead of 2!
You can find them everywhere in the chrysidid body, also on the abdomen, and even in this case segments can be totally splitted in 2 parts.

Cheers
Paolo

Hi Paolo,

Thanks a lot for your information!
it explains also the look of other animals I saw in former times.
Although it is not really funny for the animals themthelves, these "freaks" look very interesting sometimes.

All the best Paul

by the way:
the mesoscutum of this added specimen (from the same place)
differs a little bit from the others I saw before. Does this happen often?
All the best Paul
