Description
Stasera la mia prima farfalla del 2012 ( la prima postata , non la prima fotografata qualche giorno fa )
Tonight is my first butterfly of 2012 (first posted, not the first photographed a few days ago)
La Gonepteryx rhamni, detta anche cedronella, è una farfalla piuttosto comune nelle aree boscose di tutta Europa.
The Gonepteryx rhamni, also called citronella, is a butterfly is common in wooded areas throughout Europe.
Gonepteryx rhamni (LINNAEUS, 1758), è un lepidottero della famiglia Pieridae, diffuso in Europa e Asia.
È una delle farfalle più precoci in quanto sverna allo stato di adulto, protetto nelle cavità naturali: i primi individui volano già in febbraio.
Il dimorfismo sessuale è 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, popular in Europe and Asia.
It is one of the earliest butterflies overwinter as adults in the state, protected in natural cavities: the first individuals already flying in February.
Sexual dimorphism is pronounced: males have a nice lemon yellow while the females are almost white.
The caterpillar feeds on buckthorn (Rhamnus catharticus).
Good evening and good week

his wings have a heavy texture to them. Our chocolate lab enjoys chasing butterflies - she gets herself into lots of trouble.
