1/125 f/6.3, ISO 100, hand held. Taranto, Italy. Specie: Papilio machaon

Papilio machaon Nome comune: Macaone Il macaone è una delle farfalle europee più variopinte e il disegno delle sue ali la rende inconfondibile. È molto diffusa e comune in Europa meridionale. L'Arcipelago Toscano non fa eccezione e, nelle isole in cui è presente (Elba, Giglio, Capraia, Pianosa e Gorgona), non è difficile avvistarla anche perché raramente passa inosservata. Le larve si nutrono di svariate ombrellifere tra le quali prediligono il finocchio e la carota selvatici. Da queste piante i bruchi traggono le sostanze chimiche che li rendono sgradevoli ai predatori anche dopo la metamorfosi. Gli adulti volano dalla primavera fino all'inizio dell'autunno in due o tre generazioni. FONTE: http://www.santuariodellefarfalle.it/

I see you are very active in running around meadows, so you have the opportunity to take home chances of our insect friends. :-)

"I see that you are very active to go for lawns"

Many Saturday and Sunday, being free from work, evade from urban walls in search of new subjects (flora and fauna) to be immortalized.
Pigi, thanks for your visits and comments.
Hello Cosimo ;-)
