?? Phengaris alcon<\/em> or the Alcon blue is a protected species in France. This butterfly has a complex life cycle involving a specific host plant Gentiana pneumonanthe<\/em> and Myrmica<\/em> ants. In summer, females lay eggs on host plant. The caterpillar then feeds on this plant and after the last moult, it drops to the ground. Myrmica<\/em> ants then take the caterpillar to their nest. Underground, larval life continues in ants nest and caterpillar feeds on brood of their hostesses, winters and turns into a chrysalis. To be tolerated in anthill, caterpillar exudes a nutritive secretion made up of a mixture of chemical substances. In summer, butterflies hatch and crawl along galleries to open their wings before spreading. At this stage individuals of both sexes meet to mate \u2026 a new cycle can then begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
