Nutrition:
Plants, e.g. thistle leaves.
Habitat:
I observed Eupholidoptera astyla together with Poecilimon cretensis at the north coast of Crete in a only scarcely vegetated area at the sea with thistles, other herbs and dwarf shrubs.
Life cycle:
I met Eupholidoptera astyla already in early May 2013. The adults may live until summer drought.

Eupholidoptera astyla is endemic to Crete (Greece), where 10 species of Eupholidoptera are known.
Eupholidoptera chabrieri | Eupholidoptera giuliae | Eupholidoptera magnifica | Eupholidoptera megastyla | Eupholidoptera prasina | Eupholidoptera schmidti | Eupholidoptera smyrnensis
