Flavonoids in the eggs, larvae, pupae and adult butterflies of Pseudozizeeria maha were
identified and quantified. Isovitexin (apigenin 6‐C‐glucoside) was the dominant flavonoid …

Larvae of the lycaenid butterfly Polyommatus bellargus were reared on leaves of Coronilla
varia that are rich in flavone C-glycosides. Six flavonoids including isovitexin and isoorientin …

Larvae of the lycaenid butterfly Polyommatus icarus were reared on inflorescences of
Coronilla varia and Medicago sativa, which are rich in flavonoids. Twelve different …

Nine flavonoids, namely, kaempferol, kaempferol 7-rharanoside, kaempferol 3-rhamnoside,
kaempferol 3-glucoside, kaempferol 3-glucoside, 7-rhamnoside, quercetin 3-glucoside …

Caterpillars of Polyommatus icarus were reared on inflorescences of Vicia villosa, a plant
species acceptable for larval development, but not used as food source in nature. Vicia …

Three C-glycosylflavones in the leaves of Oxalis corniculata, the host plant of the lycaenid
butterfly pale grass blue (Pseudozizeeria maha), were identified as 6-C-glucosylluteolin …

Larvae of Polyommatus icarus Rott. were reared on inflorescences of Trifolium repens. The
three main flavonoid components of flower extracts, quercetin-3-O-galactoside, its 6 ″-O …

Iridoid glycosides were found to be sequestered by natural populations of Euphydryas
anicia after ingestion from the host plants Besseya alpina, B. plantaginea, and Castilleja …

Melanargia galathea L. from four different populations were classified into three categories,
white, cream, and yellow, according to the background color of their wings. The flavonoid …

Flavonol glycosides that act as oviposition stimulants for monarch butterflies were surveyed
from a range of asclepiad hosts and some nonhosts. Major stimulants also were identified as …
