Vanessa atalanta Nome comune: Vulcano La Vanessa atalanta è una specie inconfondibile per i suoi colori e una presenza assidua in Europa e nelle isole mediterranee. Grazie alla adattabilità e alle grandi capacità dispersive colonizza ogni area dove si trovino piante ruderali di cui la larva si nutre (soprattutto ortica e parietaria). Si tratta di una specie altamente territoriale. Spesso sceglie una piccola area (molto graditi gli spiazzi assolati delle boscaglie) e la difende dagli invasori. Può essere interessante e divertente provare a “spodestarla” mettendovi immobili al centro del suo territorio. La Vanessa atalanta comincerà a girarvi intorno e potrà persino arrivare a posarsi su di voi. Nell'Arcipelago Toscano è presente in tutte le isole maggiori. L'adulto ha vita lunga e, dopo essere sfarfallato in estate, sverna entro cavità naturali o in stanze abbandonate. Per questo si può vederla volare anche nelle giornate tiepide di gennaio.
