Description

Oggi un lungo periodo di problemi internet dovuti anche a manutenzione o cambiamenti nel sito , regolarmente segnalati. Decido a qeusto punto di postare un secondo tipo di farfalla simile a quella postata ieri sera La farfalla è la Vanessa Atalanta che molti conoscono più come Red Admiral. Foto scattata nel giardino del vicino ( ho l’autorizzazione a entrare quando mi serve ) che in molte occasioni è stato una vera miniera di belle creature della natura . Alcune le vedrete nei giorni a venire . Today a long period of internet problems also caused by maintenance or changes to the site, regularly reported. I decided to post these ores point of a second type of butterfly similar to the one posted last night the butterfly Vanessa Atalanta is known to many more as a Red Admiral. Picture taken in the neighbor's yard (I have permission to go when I need it) that on many occasions has been a treasure trove of beautiful creatures of nature. Some will see them in the days ahead. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) is a well-known colourful butterfly, found in temperate Europe, Asia and North America. The Red Admiral has a 45–50 mm (1.8–2.0 in) wing span.[2] The species is resident only in warmer areas, but migrates north in spring, and sometimes again in autumn. This large butterfly is identified by its striking dark brown, red, and black wing pattern. More specifically, the dark wings possess orange bands that cross the fore wings and on the outer edge of the hind wings; white spots on the dorsal fore wings near the front margin; reddish bars on dorsal surface of all four wings The caterpillar feeds on nettles, and the adult drinks from flowering plants like the Buddleia and overripe fruit. In northern Europe, it is one of the last butterflies to be seen before winter sets in, often feeding on the flowers of ivy on sunny days. The Red Admiral is also known to hibernate, re-emerging individuals showing prominently darker colourings than first brood subjects. The butterfly also flies on sunny winter days, especially in southern Europe. In North America, the Red Admiral generally has two broods from March through October. Most of North America must be recolonized each spring by southern migrants, but this species over-winters in south Texas. The Red Admiral is the butterfly featured by Vladimir Nabokov, an amateur lepidoptrist, in his novel "Pale Fire".
