, 1/80 f/16.0, ISO 1600, tripod. Specie: Vanessa atalanta

La Vanessa atalanta è una specie abbastanza comune nel mio terreno, la incontro spesso da maggio ad ottobre, ma anche in queste settimane nonostante i temporali e il vento forte la vedo ancora volare. Purtroppo non ero mai riuscito a fotografarla perché è una specie molto diffidente e appena mi avvicinavo volava via. Di solito a novembre non faccio esplorazioni notturne, ma ho deciso di fare un tentativo proprio con la speranza di incontrarla. Quel giorno il tramonto è stato inaspettatamente bello con sfumature di rosso, anche se il vento e le nuvole nere erano sempre presenti. Il terreno era molto umido e fangoso a causa delle piogge dei giorni precedenti, in alcuni tratti si erano create anche delle pozze d'acqua, c'erano pochissimi animali. Quando è calata la notte, finalmente l'ho trovata. Stava riposando nascosta tra i fiori di Fatsia japonica, mi sono lentamente avvicinato ed è stata molto collaborativa, ho tagliato delicatamente il rametto e l'ho posizionato su un plamp. Purtroppo a causa del forte vento aveva molta difficoltà a restare aggrappata sul fiore, quindi mi sono spostato vicino a degli alberi e ho costruito un riparo usando un telo antipioggia che avevo con me. Era un po' nervosa e prima di fotografarla ho preferito lasciarla indisturbata nella sua nuova posizione, nel frattempo ho continuato ad esplorare i dintorni per qualche ora. Intanto ha iniziato a piovere e gli unici rumori presenti erano quelli dei tuoni e delle gocce che cadevano, in pochi minuti ero completamente bagnato. Tutti gli animali erano al riparo o in letargo ma sono comunque riuscito a fotografare dei gechi verrucosi nascosti nelle loro tane. Appena ha smesso sono ritornato dalla vanessa, il riparo di fortuna l'ha protetta dalla pioggia e sono stato ad osservarla e fotografarla per più di un'ora. Alle 5 di mattina il vento è lentamente diminuito ma stava per arrivare un altro temporale, il cielo era coperto da nuvole nere e ogni tanto cadeva qualche goccia. Sono riuscito in quel momento a scattare delle macro ad alto ingrandimento che mostrano solo alcuni dettagli della farfalla, utilizzando tubi di prolunga e una luce led, ho notato che i flash le davano fastidio. Non volendo disturbarla ancora l'ho riportata di nuovo dove l'avevo trovata, cercando di posizionarla in un punto più riparato e nascosto, poi mi sono incamminato verso casa. Subito dopo ha iniziato a piovere, ero bagnato e soddisfatto.

Dear Marco, I had never noticed that this species was hairy like a mammal. Congratulations also for your nocturnal explorations and related stories. :-)

Thank you very much Claudio and Bepi, I really appreciated your comments.
Despite the unfavorable situation I brought home many photos at high magnification.
Yes, Claudio is a very hairy species, but it is not the only one, several lepidoptera are but to the naked eye and in passing it does not seem.

You always demonstrate ethics and professionalism as a true naturalist... even in the rain! :-D

Thank you very much Nadia, these are details that you can not always notice with the naked eye.
Every time it rains I always bathe, for convenience and shutter speed I do not use covers or shelters, I cover and hermetically close only the backpacks, everything that remains outside gets wet. I
carry a rain cloth that I put on the ground every time I sit down, but this time the butterfly needed it more than I did :-D
