Top 19 Most Common Insects in Lipari

The Eumodicogryllus bordigalensis primarily lives in Europe. However, it has been known to visit various tourist spots and has a fondness for old railyards, such as those spotted in the Czech Republic. They are primarily brownish, but they can be darker as well. They have a sharply defined bright line between their eyes. They are often hiding under stones and gravel.

It is a fairly large dragonfly (the length of 4.5 - 5 cm, 3 - 3.5 cm abdomen, rear wing 3.5 - 4 cm.) with relatively broad, flattened abdomen, but not as broad as to chaser species. With age, adult males develop extensive blue pruinescence on their abdomen, offset by yellow lateral patches. The middle lobe of the pronotum is large and notched in the middle. The chest is yellow or yellowish-brown. The base of the hind wings do not show a dark opaque spots. The pterostigma is dark brown or black. On the front wings pterostigma 2 - 3 mm long. Anal appendages are black. The females and immature males are a deep yellow color, with wavy black lines dorsally on their abdomen. Males and females have the costal vein (the leading edge of the wing) yellow or black.

The common wasp (Vespula vulgaris) is otherwise known as the common yellow-jacket. Despite what the name may make you believe, these industrious insects will look for a free space in a rock crevice, mammal hole, or tree to build its paper nests. This makes them pretty extraordinary, as these nests can host several thousand larvae. Queens can go through a long process in finding the perfect nest.

Amata phegea reaches a wingspan of 3.5 - 4 cm . Males are smaller than females and have thicker antennae. Wings are blueish black or greenish black with white spots and metallic sheen. The number and the size of spots are quite variable. Usually there are six white spots on the front wings and two or three spots on the hind wings. The body is quite long, with yellow spot on the second segment of the abdomen. A further feature is the prominent yellow ring at the sixth segment of the abdomen. The black thread-like antennae have white tips. The caterpillars can reach a length of about 5 cm . They are gray-black with thick dark brown, fluffy hairs that grow from small growths. The head is reddish-brown.

The Morimus asper is a very dramatic beetle. This is because the first half of its Latin name comes from a Greek word that means "destined to die." Battles between males are also known to be just as dramatic, as one of the two parties typically leaves with severe damage.

The european wolf spider (Hogna radiata) is a dark brown spider that lives among dry grass or open woods. During mating season, females will dig shallow burrows in the ground to lay their eggs in. Like other wolf spiders (Lycosidae), this species is generally harmless to humans, but it can cause a painful bite if provoked.

Zilla diodia is a small spiderweb. The females are 3.5 to 4.5 mm in size, the males 2.5 to 3.0 mm. The hind body (Opisthosoma) has a light brown-white basic pattern. The back part has a dark leaf drawing. At the front edge is a characteristic T-shaped, rounded, white drawing on which the species is easy to recognize. In between there are usually dark, in the middle interrupted horizontal stripes. The fore body (prosoma) is light brown, dark brown in the eye area. The legs have a light brown base color and are darkly striped.

Hylotrupes bajulus can reach a body length of about 8–20 mm (0.31–0.79 in), while mature larva can reach 30 mm (1.2 in). These beetles are brown to black, appearing grey because of a fine grey furriness on most of the upper surface. On the pronotum two conspicuously hairless tubercles are characteristic of the species. On the elytra usually there are two whitish pubescent spots. Females do not have a real ovipositor, only a little more elongated telson. The species can be defined polymorphic, having an extreme variability, both in the dimensions and in the aspect. In small specimens the pubescent spots on the elytra disappear almost completely and the legs and antennae turn to a reddish color.

Oxycarenus lavaterae can reach a length of 4.5–5.4 millimetres (0.18–0.21 in) in adult females, and 4.2–5 millimetres (0.17–0.20 in) in males. Adult bugs are mostly red, white and black colored. The head, the entire prothorax, the scutellum and the antennae are black. The upper part of the abdomen is brick-red, while the connexivum is blackish. The front wings are colorless and transparent and reach the top of the abdomen or are a little longer. The nymphs can be easily recognized by their black head and the red-colored abdomen. The wing pads of the nymphs are completely black.
