La Lasiocampa quercus è una falena della famiglia Lasiocampidae, si sviluppa in una sola generazione all'anno. La femmina nelle ore successive all'accoppiamento inizia a deporre le uova, a differenza di altre farfalle e falene, non le attacca alle piante nutrici ma le lascia cadere nel terreno dove si sparpagliano rotolando grazie alla loro forma sferica. Il periodo di incubazione è di circa 2 settimane, i piccoli bruchi appena nati sono lunghi pochi millimetri, le uova spesso sono lontane dalle piante nutrici e i bruchi devono camminare molto prima di poter mangiare. È una specie polifaga, si nutre di foglie di alberi e arbusti: Edera, Rovo, Ribes, Ligustro, betulla, Salice, Pioppo, Melo. Cresce molto lentamente e in tutta la sua vita effettua 4 mute, durante l'inverno resta fermo per non consumare troppe energie, nei giorni miti va in cerca di cibo solo nelle ore più soleggiate. A primavera ritorna in attività, effettua l'ultima muta e parte in esplorazione per preparare il bozzolo, simile ad una ghianda e di colore marrone. La metamorfosi dura circa 2 o 3 mesi, una volta nata la falena ha la spirotromba poco sviluppata, quindi non si nutre e vive solo una settimana, la femmina è attiva prevalentemente di notte, mentre il maschio di giorno. Lo scorso anno ho allevato 4 esemplari di Lasiocampa quercus, due esemplari femmine sono nate insieme lo stesso giorno e nel pomeriggio le ho portate con me per fotografarle e liberarle. Un'ora prima del tramonto ero in una delle mie zone preferite, mi sono posizionato ai margini del bosco con gli alberi alle spalle e il prato davanti, in modo da avere la luce calda del tramonto riflessa nell'erba. Delicatamente ho cercato di invogliare le farfalle a salire sul rametto, per non disturbarle l'ho messo nel fauna box e ho aspettato che si posassero spontaneamente. Dopo un po' di attesa con mio grande stupore le ho viste salire e camminare sul rametto fino a fermarsi una accanto all'altra, ho aspettato qualche altro minuto e poi le ho spostate sul treppiede. Intanto il tramonto era arrivato con la sua bellissima luce calda, c'era anche il sole che lentamente stava scendendo, gli alberi e l'erba rendevano la luce molto delicata. Mi sono fermato ad osservare stupito quella bellissima scena fino al crepuscolo, poi le ho lasciate lì e ho continuato l'esplorazione. Due ore dopo con l'arrivo della notte sono tornato a controllare ma erano già volate, le ho incontrate poco distante nel prato…

The shot is of considerable value, but the important accurate description at the bottom once again demonstrates your high degree of preparation and deepening towards this semi-unknown world reserved for the few passionate researchers like you. Congratulations very much Marco.
bye gios ;-)

Thank you very much Gios for the kind comments and for the time you dedicated to my photos.
You're right, this is a genre that takes a lot of time and effort.
Naturalistic knowledge is a rarity, I sometimes see those who practice the genre photographing animals without even knowing them well. Unfortunately, sometimes damage is also done without realizing it.
But these little animals deserve to be known and respected...
