, 1/10 f/8.0, ISO 125, tripod. Specie: Papilio machaon

Una foto scattata lo scorso giugno, l'estate era appena arrivata e i macaoni erano in piena attività, la metamorfosi è una delle fasi più belle dal punto di vista naturalistico. Il bruco smette di mangiare e va alla ricerca di un supporto su cui costruire la crisalide, dopo averlo trovato, tesse un reticolo con filamenti di seta sotto il suo corpo e una cintura per sostenere la testa. I filamenti di seta sono molto resistenti e permettono alla crisalide di restare ferma per tutto il periodo della metamorfosi. Alla fine con molti sforzi il bruco esegue la sua ultima muta, con delle forti contrazioni si libera della sua pelle, facendo uscire al suo posto la crisalide, che può essere verde, se fatta d'estate, o marrone se fatta d'autunno, in quest'ultimo caso la metamorfosi durerà tutti i mesi invernali e la farfalla nascerà la primavera successiva. Nelle ore precedenti alla nascita la crisalide diventa trasparente, lasciando intravedere gli occhi e il colore delle ali della farfalla

Hello Marco, excellent macro for this caterpillar of the Macaone, perhaps to correct a little' yellow dominant. Really very detailed and clear to all the transformation from caterpillar to chrysalis. Congratulations and have a good week, hello Fabrizio.

Thank you very much Walter, Max and Fabrizio for the comments and for appreciating this photo of me.
Hello
Fabrizio, do you mean yellow in the background?
I really like macros with the warm colors of the sunset, in fact when the sky is completely cloudy I never shoot, plus I always impose the white balance with slightly warmer tones.
In this case the sunset light that filtered through the trees created these yellow shades. For my taste I preferred to leave them, but maybe I exaggerated
Hello and good week to you too

Hello Mark, no the yellow shade of the background I like and that in my opinion has affected the shades of the caterpillar that should be greener, but that's okay too. Good afternoon, hello Fabrizio.

Hello Alessandro thanks I'm glad you liked
Fabrizio, you're right. But I have seen that even the caterpillar in the process of metamorphosis loses a little the brilliance of the colors.
In this case the body of the macaone, especially near the paws, was really more white than green, so I preferred this color balance with a little more saturation (+5/10 more than this I never go)
Hello and thanks for the comment
