 | 26] Photographs of the host-plant, the Pellitory of the Wall (Parietaria officinalis) - Alpes maritimes (France) - 15/08/2013
This plant grows on old walls and is very susceptible to herbicides which are sprayed in order to clean roadsides and medieval villages of Provence. Furthermore, when natural walls are too well cemented, with no cracks left between stones, this plant cannot settle. In modern road infrastructures, natural stone walls are too often replaced by cinderblock walls, which is very harmful to Parietaria officinalis and other creatures such as reptiles. | |
