[In English]

The life cycle of the butterfly Polyommatus icarus is dependent on the life cycles of its host plants such as Lotus corniculatus and Trifolium repens. Its caterpillar feeds exclusively on the leaves and flowers of its host plants. These nectariferous plants are also an important food source for imagos or adult butterflies.
