Lebensweise und Verhalten von Insekten. Spektakuläre Videoaufnahmen nach Wahl.

Abstract

For several years, scenes from the life of various insects have been put on stage under the stereomicroscope and captured with fast, high resolution video technology. As a result, for example, the development of the cereal aphid Sitobion avenae or the lacewing Chrysoperla carnea can be viewed from the birth respectively from the egg to the adult organism. Several sequences are spectacular and have never previously been documented in motion pictures, as for example the attack by the chalcidoid wasp Aphelinus abdominalis on its aphid host or the mechanism of honeydew excretion by phloem suckers.
