, 1/10 f/8.0, ISO 160, tripod. Specie: Papilio machaon

Non ho mai avuto un animale preferito, osservando e studiando tutte le loro particolarità ho imparato ad apprezzare ogni specie per le sue caratteristiche e per l'importante scopo che ha in natura. Anche tra i lepidotteri per me scegliere una singola specie è impossibile, non ci riesco, se scelgo una specie mi sento come se stessi tradendo tutte le altre. Ogni farfalla ha una sua particolarità: il colore e le forme delle ali, la metamorfosi e la particolare e sempre diversa vita da bruco. Non si può negare però che il macaone con i suoi colori accesi è una specie molto affascinante da osservare e anche da fotografare. Quando allevo alcune specie di lepidotteri, posiziono verticalmente all'interno dei fauna box qualche rametto per invogliare i bruchi a fare lì la crisalide. In questo modo poi posso prenderlo, posizionarlo sul treppiede e fotografare tutte le fasi della metamorfosi. Questa è senza dubbio la cosa più difficile perché i bruchi preferiscono sempre impuparsi sotto il coperchio del contenitore: devo posizionare i rametti quando sono ancora piccoli, in modo da fargli capire che sono stabili e adatti allo scopo. Questo esemplare è stato intelligente ed ha subito capito la sua utilità. Dopo 15 giorni alle 6 del mattino è nato questo bellissimo esemplare femmina, era inizio agosto e con le alte temperature la metamorfosi avviene molto rapidamente. La femmina si distingue dal maschio per le dimensioni leggermente maggiori e l'addome più grande e arrotondato. Ero in esplorazione da circa 14 ore, avevo portato con me il fauna box e avevo notato subito i segnali che anticipavano la nascita. La farfalla dopo essere uscita dalla crisalide rompendo la parte superiore, si è posizionata poco più su per distendere le ali. Il sole non era ancora apparso all'orizzonte e sono rimasto in attesa ad osservarla per più di un'ora fino a quando dal sottobosco è spuntata la delicata luce del primo mattino. C'era un vento costante e la farfalla aveva difficoltà a restare aggrappata, ho dovuto cambiare posizione 2 volte prima di poter fotografare, è stata un'operazione molto delicata, ho spostato tutta l'attrezzatura lentamente per non spaventarla. Alla fine sono riuscito a scattare alcune foto, sfruttando quella luce delicata e usando anche 2 flash per schiarire le ombre. Poi ho atteso il suo primo volo, che è avvenuto poco dopo quando il sole era quasi visibile in alto dietro agli alberi. Infine soddisfatto ho preparato gli zaini per tornare a casa, avevo a disposizione 6 ore per riorganizzarmi, prima di ricominciare l'esplorazione.

For me as an EP for the naturalistic completeness of the image that testifies to the complete metamorphosis of the butterfly. As well as for the aesthetic perfection of the shot from a compositional and technical point of view. The attached text is very informative. Mark Chapeau.
Bye gios ;-)
