Attacus atlas male sent on September 19, 2015 (20:16) by Lucchin Fabrizio. 107 comments, 5734 views.

, 1/60 f/13.0, ISO 500, tripod. Specie: Attacus atlas

L'atlante o farfalla cobra (Attacus atlas (LINNAEUS, 1758)) è una falena appartenente alla famiglia Saturniidae, diffusa nelle foreste tropicali dell'Asia, in particolare nelle Filippine, in Thailandia ed in Malaysia. Descrizione: Con i suoi 30 cm di apertura alare, è una delle specie di insetto più grandi del mondo e deve il suo nome al particolare disegno delle sue ali, che ricorda i colori e la forma del cobra. Biologia: L'adulto vive soltanto pochi giorni, durante i quali non si nutre ma sfrutta le riserve accumulate durante lo stadio larvale e si dedica soltanto all'accoppiamento, che può durare un giorno intero. Successivamente la femmina depone fino a 200 uova, che si schiudono dopo circa 12 giorni. Dopo la schiusa, i piccoli bruchi iniziano a nutrirsi e continuano a crescere per un periodo di 90 giorni, dopodiché, raggiunte le massime dimensioni, iniziano la metamorfosi, racchiudendosi in un bozzolo di seta e usando generalmente una foglia come sostegno, per trasformarsi al suo interno in crisalide e infine fuoriuscirne dopo un mese come esemplare adulto. È considerata una delle specie tropicali più belle, ed è relativamente semplice da allevare in cattività. I bozzoli di Attacus atlas, formati da numerosi fili di seta, vengono utilizzati per ottenere un filato piuttosto resistente denominato "seta Zagara".

Thanks Juliet, is really beautiful and is the largest butterfly in the world, the only disappointment of not seeing her birth, it would be nice to do some shots during the escape from the chrysalis. Thank you, hello Fabrizio

Erlegan, Eros, Bal thanks for the compliments, the specimen is really nice because it was born in my house, gave me two nymphs my friend Alexander, the problem was that shortly after I took off almost immediately took off, fortunately it is placed on the handle of the rake that you see and are able to take more pictures before losing it for good. Thanks again, hello Fabrizio

Hello Andrea, unfortunately moths do not eat, reproduce soon after birth and live only
7-8 days. Really a pity that so lovely butterflies have such a short life. Thanks for the ride, hello Fabrizio

Hello Clare, happy to hear from you and thank you for the compliment. The attacus well as being the largest butterfly in the world is also very beautiful, the only regret is not having seen her birth, we hope next time if my friend gives me other nymphs. Hello Fabrizio
