Macroglossum Stellatarum - Life Cycle

Life Cycle

Two or more broods are produced each year. The adult may be encountered at any time of the year, especially in the south of the range, where there may be three or four broods. It overwinters as an adult in a crevice among rocks, trees, and buildings. On very warm days it may emerge to feed in mid-winter.

Famous quotes containing the words life and/or cycle:

    Then I will no longer
    Find myself in life as in a strange garment
    William Stanley Merwin (b. 1927)

    Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
    A medley of extemporanea;
    And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
    And I am Marie of Roumania.
    Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
