, 1/25 f/11.0, ISO 100, tripod. Specie: Papilio machaon

Nome scientifico: Papilio machaon (Linneus, 1758) Dimensioni: Lunghezza ala anteriore mm. 32-45 apertura alare: 70 - 100 mm Descrizione della specie: Il Macaone è una farfalla della famiglia delle Papilionidae, famiglia prevalentemente tropicale, di cui solo 9 specie presenti in Italia. Con i suoi circa 8 centimetri di apertura alare massima, non è difficile incontrarla e notarla soprattutto nelle campagne o in collina dall'inizio della primavera (periodo in cui le crisalidi sfarfallano), fino ad autunno inoltrato. Elegante ed agile nel volo, il maschio è anche difensore del proprio territorio; se vi capitasse di vederne due che volteggiano vicini in audaci acrobazie, probabilmente uno sta cercando di cacciare l'altro. Presenta il tipico comportamento da Butterfly Hilltopping, ovvero cerca di volare sopra il punto più alto del terreno in cui si trova (dominio). La parte superiore ha ali anteriori con una singolare e sgargiante livrea gialla e nera e ali posteriori con una coda di mediocre lunghezza e macchie arancioni di grandezza variabile. Inoltre, sono presenti una larga fascia nera soffusa di azzurro ed una macchia ocellata rossa posta all'angolo interno. La parte inferiore ha ali anteriori con una sottile bordatura chiara al margine anteriore. Papilio in latino significa farfalla, mentre machaon è il nome conferito alla specie in onore di Macaone, celebre medico della mitologia, figlio di Esculapio, dio della medicina ed a sua volta fratello di Podalirio, anch'egli medico. Maschio: colore giallo con nervature e ampi disegni trasversali neri. Fascia postdiscale contenente una sfumatura gialla nelle anteriori e blu nelle posteriori. Grossa macchia arancio nell'angolo anale delle posteriori. Bordo esterno delle posteriori dentato con una coda in corrispondenza della terza nervatura mediana. Femmina: simile al maschio ma generalmente più grande Rovescio: colore giallo con disegni simili al dritto, ma decisamente più chiari. Bruco: verde con anelli neri punteggiati di giallo, si nutre di Apiaceae, come ad esempio il finocchio e la carota. Se disturbato, estroflette da dietro la testa un paio di ghiandole a forma di corno (osmaterium), che emettono un odore repellente che tiene lontani i predatori. Le piante nutrici sono: Daucus carota, Foeniculum vulgare, Pastinaca sativa Ruta graveolens Distribuzione e habitat:? Europa, Asia temperata e Giappone, regioni artiche e sub-artiche del Canada e degli Stati Uniti, tutta Italia. specie termofila, si rinviene in zone umide, ambienti aperti e soleggiati dalla pianura alla media montagna. 0-3000 m. Periodo di attività: da marzo a settembre con una o più generazioni annuali in accordo con la latitudine e l'altitudine.

Be good to criticism, is a shot of the October 8, revisited, I dared with the PP, I followed a tutorial by Elio to standardize the background, the detail on the wings is not the best because the subject was a bit older, this is a shot that I care ... especially if you have suggestions as always are very welcome :-)

No I could suggest anything because the picture is also great because documents a difficult time of the butterfly, if it were rain.

missing the warm colors
contrast and 'very high! for the rest good.


There are as warm colors!
Batsa to test sucanali to realize that there is the yellow predominates
The color of the butterfly are very real, and the contrast is a parameter that judged on the web leaves the time that is because there can be a considerable difference of point of black and white from monitor to monitor

I agree with Leonardo to the question of color.
That said I can only congratulate you for this shot, especially like the different shooting point compared to the traditional views. You are always very good!

Congratulations!

Very nice, excellent color management, fidelity, you should know that once swallowtail "elders" lose their yellowish color and tend to white.
I especially like because this is not as saturated as the previous ones:-D

Larossa hello, yes, indeed, is a Machaon unusual, unfortunately it was already ahead with age ... the missing pieces also .. but did you see how fair was very good as a model, and in any case an emotion only portray .... sure your description I think is very original and does honor ... I would say that it can be proud ;-)

congratulations!
