Specie: Zerynthia polyxena

Zerynthia polyxena è una farfalla della famiglia dei Papilionidae (famiglia prevalentemente tropicale, di cui solo 9 specie presenti in Italia), con apertura alare di 50-60 mm. I bruchi si nutrono di varie specie di aristolochie, compiono 5 mute nell'arco di 4/5 settimane, dopo di che le crisalidi, legate ad un sostegno, svernano per sfarfallare nella primavera successiva. Gli adulti sono attivi per non più di 3 settimane. La particolare alimentazione delle larve fornisce alle stesse sostanze tossiche, che passano poi anche alle farfalle adulte, rendendole incommestibili. La colorazione della livrea dell'adulto, gialla, con caratteristici disegni neri, rossi e blu, è detta "aposematica" (cioè "ammonitrice"), in quanto serve proprio a scoraggiare i potenziali predatori. In Italia, la farfalla è diffusa al di sotto delle Alpi più o meno fino all'altezza del Po. A lititudini inferiori si trova soprattutto l'endemismo italiano Zerynthia cassandra.

Wonderful compo and wonderful subject, but 'I think the MDC is a bit' too much boost.

I agree with a hair blacks closed and excessive sharpness but there is shooting and foremost very good description that I drank happily and with great interest. Sometimes accompany the shots enhances the shooting information is always useful.

Congratulations then, after minor adjustments in post production I think is one very nice shot!

More than too much contrast for me are too closed blacks. Very interesting description. Overall though it is a nice picture.
