1/30 f/5.6, ISO 100, hand held. Taranto, Italy.

#Coleoptera #Wild Ecballium elaterium (L.) A. Rich. - Cocomero asinino Pianta perenne, erbacea, cespugliosa, carnosa, tuberosa, con fusti ispidi, robusti e striscianti, alta sino a 80 cm. Le foglie ispide e pelose, hanno lunghi piccioli, sono ovato-cuoriformi, con margine ondulato e dentellato, molto spesse e di colore verde-grigio. I fiori color giallastro, venati di verde, hanno corolla ± rotata a 5 petali, compaiono all'ascella delle foglie: i maschili riuniti in racemi, i femminili solitari e saldati ai rami, questi ultimi dopo la fecondazione producono un frutto verde, ovoidale coperto di peli ispidi e pendulo, il peduncolo che lo sostiene è ripiegato ad uncino e quindi l'attaccatura del frutto è rivolta verso l'alto. Antesi: maggio÷ottobre Su questa pianta è infeudato un Coleottero Coccinellide molto appariscente, la “Henosepilachna elaterii”, il cui nome specifico deriva appunto dalla sua stretta preferenza alimentare, anche se lo si può incontrare sulle Cucurbitacee coltivate. Se vi capitasse di notare un cocomero asinino, osservate bene le sue foglie, potrete accorgervi della presenza di una larva gialla, carnosa e spinosetta, intenta a divorarle.

Cosimo, I went around your portfolio and admired very beautiful photographs, of which this is an example. You have a great love for nature that you show in your photos, all very natural as well as beautiful, and with news on each subject that you resume and study. It's a shame you can not participate more actively in the site's life because your work deserves to be seen and commented by a much larger number of registered photographers.

Dear Giuseppe, I greatly flatter your judgment, thank you very much.
As far as love for nature is concerned, I express it with a phrase called by the great leader of the Sioux tribe "Sitting Bull":
"When they have polluted the last river, killing the last tree, taking the last bison, catching the last fish, only then will they realize they can not eat the money accumulated in their banks."
Congratulations and thank you again, Cosimo.
