The Mediterranean

Southern Europe and northern Africa share some species with more northerly latitudes but the warmer drier climate allow survival of species not found in the north. 

This page is in its infancy and currently leads to pages with observations of insects on some typical Mediterranean plants. A miscellany of unidentified insects appears on the 'orphans' page! 

Olive - Olea europaea L

Oleander - Nerium oleander L

Cork oak - Quercus suber L

Dwarf mountain pine - Pinus mugo Turra
