Description

Pieridae Coliadinae Gonepterygini Gonepteryx rhamni (Linnaeus, 1758 Gonepteryx rhamni LINNAEUS, 1758, Ã¨ un lepidottero della famiglia Pieridae, diffuso in Europa e Asia. Ã� una delle farfalle piÃ¹ precoci in quanto sverna allo stato di adulto, protetto nelle cavitÃ naturali: i primi individui volano giÃ in febbraio. Il dimorfismo sessuale Ã¨ marcato: i maschi hanno un bel colore giallo limone mentre le femmine sono quasi bianche. Il bruco si nutre di spincervino (Rhamnus catharticus). Gonepteryx rhamni Linnaeus, 1758, is a moth of the family Pieridae, widespread in Europe and Asia. It is one of the earliest butterflies wintering as an adult state, protected in natural cavities: the first flying individuals already in February. Sexual dimorphism is marked: males have a beautiful lemon yellow color while the females are almost white. The caterpillar feeds on buckthorn (Rhamnus catharticus).

Così foto bella! Questo butterfly' le ali di s assomigliano ai fogli, quanto belle. Stava provando a nascondersi ma lo avete trovato. I colori morbidi sono così bei. Amo questo molto. Such a lovely photo! This butterfly's wings look like leaves, how beautiful.He was trying to hide but you found him. The soft colors are so beautiful. I love this one very much.
