Description
L’anno passato ho dovuto aspettare mesi prima di incontrare la farfalla pavone ( se ricordo bene fino a giugno ), quest’anno si vede con una certa frequenza . Ho approfittato per farla vedere quando chiude le ali , è irriconoscibile .Il colore , molto scuro , le permette di mimetizzarsi più facilmente . Quando poi apre le ali mostra la sua riconosciuta bellezza da cui deriva il nome ( Inachis Io ) in onore della Sacerdotessa di Giunone ( IO ) famosa per la leggendaria bellezza . Farfalla molto diffusa e credo conosciuta da tutti , ma sempre piacevole da incontrare .
Last year I had to wait months before meeting the peacock butterfly (until June if I remember correctly), this year is seen with some frequency. I took the opportunity to see when it closes its wings, it is unrecognizable. The color, very dark, allows her to blend in more easily. When he opens his wings, showing the beauty recognized hence the name (Inachis IO ) in honor of the High Priestess of Juno ( IO ), famous for the legendary beauty. Butterfly widespread and I think that everyone knows, but always a pleasure to meet.

Mario, questa è una splendida foto il mio amico. Non ho mai visto una farfalla come questo prima d'ora. Sono felice di aver acquisito una foto di essa all'inizio di quest'anno.
