Thank you Marzio, Pier, Fulvio, Gandino, Alessandro, Gianni, Bo, Simone, Antonello, Corrado, Gion, Daniele and Fabrizio!

“ Nice test of skill without rust! „

Thank you! Winter hibernation makes you lose some of the automatisms in this genre where you have to take care of the small details ...
Looking back at it, I think I should have reduced the saturation a bit; that will be for the next one!

Thanks Es1985! It is a fairly rare and localized butterfly that is closely related to the nurturing plant (aristolochia pallida or aristolochia rotunda) of its caterpillars. Furthermore, since it is a univoltine species (it has only one generation of adults each year) it is possible to observe it at the butterfly stage only for a few weeks a year, between the end of March and April. Usually, where it is present, it is also relatively abundant. However, it is at risk of extinction due to the increasing fragmentation of habitats favorable to it and the fact that mowing is carried out during the period in which the caterpillars are present. Added to this is the fact that it does not move much from where it is born and therefore it is difficult to recolonize favorable areas (presence of the nurse plant) in which it had previously become extinct. To find it, therefore, you must first find the nurse plant and then see if it is present in the area.
