Notes

A total of 945 specimens were collected from all localities, except Talataste. The species is multivoltine, with polyphagous larvae that feed throughout the year. P. robusta is known to form permanent colonies, particularly in southern Europe, with a notable presence in Spain and the Andalusia Region. Its geographical distribution appears to be expanding, potentially due to the effects of global warming ( Grange 2014).
