Description

Oggi una tregua nel maltempo e dopo una bella giornata di sole sono riuscito a partecipare al 3° Corso del Carnevale di Viareggio. Stamani avevo fatto il mio solito giro in cerca di nuovi soggetti e , giunto alla collina dove,spesso, scatto le mie macro ho fotografato la prima farfalla dell’anno, posata su un ramo di susino selvatico. La farfalla è la Inachis Io , detta Occhio di Pavone . Today, after a lull in the bad weather and a beautiful sunny day I was able to participate in the 3rd Course of the Carnival of Viareggio. This morning I did my usual round in search of new subjects, and came to the hill where, often, my macro shot I took the first butterfly of the year, resting on a branch of wild plum. The butterfly is the Inachis I called Peacock's Eye. La Vanessa io o Occhio di pavone (Inachis io LINNAEUS, 1758) è una ben nota e colorata farfalla della famiglia Nymphalidae, abitante delle zone temperate dell'Europa e dell'Asia. È l'unica specie del genere Inachis da alcuni autori considerato sinonimo di Nymphalis. Il suo epiteto specifico fa riferimento a Io, sacerdotessa di Giunone dalla leggendaria bellezza. Ha una apertura alare sino a 60-70 mm. La superficie dorsale delle ali è di colore rosso mattone con bordi tendente al brunastro. Gli angoli sono ornati da quattro vistose macchie variopinte a forma di occhio. Queste macchie, dette ocelli, hanno una funzione protettiva contro i predatori [1]. La superficie ventrale è invece di un colore bruno-nerastro che ne facilita il mimetismo. The Peacock's Eye Vanessa or me (I Inachis LINNAEUS, 1758) is a well-known and colorful butterfly family Nymphalidae, an inhabitant of the temperate zones of Europe and Asia. It is the only species of the genus Inachis by some authors considered synonymous with Nymphalis. Its specific epithet refers to Io, a priestess of Juno's legendary beauty. It has a wingspan of up to 60-70 mm. The dorsal surface of the wings is red brick with tending to brown edges. The four corners are adorned with colorful eye-catching spots to the eye. These spots, called ocelli, have a protective function against predators [1]. The ventral surface is instead of a blackish-brown color that makes it easier to camouflage. Good sunday and good week Thanks for the comments and the favourites of previous image

I think he knew you were coming and he waited for you! What a beauty especially amid the plum blossoms. Wonderful shot. Penso abbia saputo che stavate venendo e lo ha aspettato! Ché bellezza particolarmente in mezzo della prugna sboccia. Colpo meraviglioso.
