T<br />

he large variety of natural conditions and habitats also results<br />

in a high diversity of fauna, including many rare and threatened<br />

species. The most abundant are invertebrates, of which many<br />

represent glacial relicts. More than 1000 beetle species (Coleoptera)<br />

were recorded within the project area. The majority of rare<br />

beetle species can be found just in wetlands and well-preserved<br />

old-grown forests. The priority species of Community interest<br />

is Hermit Beetle (Osmoderma eremita) living exclusively in old<br />

hollow trees. Dying trees, especially oaks, are an ideal habitat for<br />

European Stag Beetle (Lucanus cervus) and Great Capricorn<br />

Beetle (Cerambyx cerdo), as well as for Rhinoceros Beetle (Oryctes<br />

nasicornis), Flower Beetle (Cetonischema aeruginosa) or the<br />

rare Rhysodes sulcatus.<br />

Butterflies (Lepidoptera) are also species rich. Most species<br />

of Community interest can be found on the meadows along the<br />

Rudava River, such as Scarce Large Blue Butterfly (Maculinea<br />

teleius), Dusky Large Blue Butterfly (Maculinea nausithous) and<br />

Large Copper (Lycaena dispar).<br />
