Aglaope infausta

[1] The pupation usually starts in early June as an elongated cocoon that is whitish or light brown.

[1] The larvae feed upon Prunus spinosa, Crataegus sp., Cotoneaster sp., and other species in the family Rosaceae.

[6] The external male sex organs are subject to sexual selection by the female.

Successful sperm transfer depends upon whether the male spermatophore will fit into the opening of the female ductus seminalis.

[8] A. infausta is found in Portugal, Spain, France and north-western Italy reaching its north-eastern distribution limit in western Germany.
