L'ultima muta del macaone

The last molt of the swallowtail: the last moments sent on May 06, 2023 (17:26) by MarcoCoppola. 28 comments, 394 views. [retina]

, 1/60 f/8.0, ISO 800, tripod. Specie: Papilio machaon

Il macaone ha quasi completato la sua ultima muta, la crisalide ha fatto scivolare la cuticola lungo il corpo fino a farla rimanere attaccata solo alla parte posteriore. È raggrinzita ma conserva ancora i colori e la forma del bruco, sono ancora visibili le striature e la testa. In questi ultimi istanti la crisalide continuerà a muoversi con dei movimenti circolari fino a quando la cuticola non si staccherà. Dopo la muta la crisalide non va toccata, il suo involucro è molto delicato e passerà circa un giorno prima che si indurisca. Per fotografare questa fase sono stato in attesa tutto il pomeriggio ad osservare il bruco e finalmente alle 19,30 ha iniziato la muta. Il sole era già tramontato e stava arrivando il buio, fotografare è stato difficile perché c'era un costante vento che muoveva a destra e a sinistra la crisalide. Quest'anno cercherò di fotografare di nuovo l'ultima muta, tra poco inizierò ad allevare i macaoni, i finocchietti selvatici crescono in fretta ma è ancora presto per trovare le uova e i bruchi, dovrò aspettare almeno una o due settimane. Per comprendere ed osservare bene dall'inizio l'ultima muta del macaone, consiglio a chi non l'avesse fatto, di andare a guardare anche le altre foto presenti in questa galleria.

A valid document that testifies to this delicate phase of transformation of the swallowtail caterpillar into chrysalis. Certainly not easy a recovery on a subject that makes rapid and unpredictable movements.

Thank you so much Marco and Nicola!
Unfortunately there was also a light wind that moved the chrysalis even more and after a few shots the focus was no longer perfect, I had to set it better, but I could not do it otherwise I would have lost the moment.
