, 1/250 f/16.0, ISO 500, tripod.

Qualche giorno fa, durante la mia esplorazione notturna, ho visto su un rametto di pero questo bellissimo e particolare bruco. Quella notte la temperatura era più bassa del solito, c'era molta umidità e un leggero vento, mentre lo fotografavo ha cominciato anche a piovere. Sono rimasto ad osservarlo per più di due ore mentre lui, per niente spaventato dalla mia presenza, continuava a mangiare la foglia di pero a cui si era aggrappato. L' Acronicta psi è una falena della famiglia Noctuidae, compie due generazioni all'anno, in primavera e a fine estate. I bruchi hanno delle macchie arancioni ai lati del corpo e una striscia gialla sulla schiena. Tutto il corpo è ricoperto da lunghi peli bianchi, sul torace e sull'addome hanno due corni neri, quello sul torace è più grande e riconoscibile. Si nutrono di foglie e sono polifagi, io li ho osservati su pero e pruno, ma si adattano facilmente a tante altre specie di piante. Trascorrono tutta la loro vita sui rami bassi delle piante nutrici e quando sono cresciuti li abbandonano per prepararsi alla metamorfosi nel terreno. L'adulto ha abitudini notturne e vola per tutta l'estate, si nutre di nettare e contribuisce anche all'impollinzione. Il corpo è marrone chiaro con quattro strisce nere sulle ali che sono simili alla lettera greca psi, da cui prende il nome.

Hello Bepi I'm glad you liked it
I stayed to watch him for more than two hours while he, not at all frightened by my presence, continued to eat the pear leaf to which he had clung.

I went on the web to watch the moth, which I recognized but I never saw the caterpillar.
Beautiful and detailed catch for this particular caterpillar. Congratulations for everything .ciao

The caterpillar hides very well in the trees, I had already seen it other times but I had never been able to photograph it.
Thanks Andrea

A beautiful caterpillar that I had never seen before. The butterfly, on the other hand, I knew. . :-P
