, 1/3 f/20.0, ISO 400, tripod. Specie: Charaxes jasius

La Ninfa del corbezzolo (Charaxes jasius (Linnaeus, 1767)) è un lepidottero appartenente alla famiglia Nymphalidae. È l'unico rappresentante europeo del genere Charaxes, per il resto diffuso soprattutto nella fascia tropicale del Vecchio Mondo.Indice Descrizione La ninfa del corbezzolo è una farfalla di dimensioni medio-grandi, avendo un'apertura alare compresa tra i 70 e gli 80 mm. Vista da sopra la farfalla ha ali bruno scuro con i margini di color arancio. Le ali posteriori portano le due codine alle vene 2 e 4, caratteristica della maggior parte delle specie del genere. La pagina inferiore delle ali è bruno rossiccia con numerose bande più scure contornate di bianco o grigio. La banda marginale arancio è presente anche su questa ed è preceduta da una banda bianca submediana. Vicino alle codine sono presenti alcuni punti azzurri. Il bruco è verde, cilindrico e presenta due ocelli gialli sul dorso. Il capo porta quattro corni rivolti all'indietro. La pupa è compatta e rimane appesa alla pianta nutrice. È una specie con una territorialità molto spiccata: specialmente nel periodo riproduttivo gli individui di sesso maschile difendono e pattugliano un territorio molto vasto, manifestando una notevole aggressività verso le altre farfalle. Alimentazione In fase larvale si nutre esclusivamente delle foglie della pianta del corbezzolo (Arbutus unedo), da cui il suo nome comune. L'adulto predilige i frutti maturi, di cui succhia i liquidi zuccherini. Riproduzione Charaxes jasius è una specie bivoltina, che presenta cioè 2 generazioni all'anno: la prima in maggio-giugno e la seconda in agosto-settembre; dopo quest'ultima trascorre l'inverno allo stadio larvale, per sfarfallare la primavera successiva. La femmina depone le uova attaccandole alla pagina superiore delle foglie del corbezzolo, deponendo non più di un uovo per foglia. Dall'uovo fuoriesce la larva, che si costruisce una specie di "letto" con dei fili sericei, sul quale torna puntualmente dopo essersi cibato delle foglie circostanti. Man mano che va aumentando di dimensioni il bruco va incontro a ripetute mute. In seguito si appende ad un ramoscello incurvandosi ad uncino e si impupa. Dopo un periodo che può variare da due settimane ad un mese, la pupa si apre lasciando fuoriuscire la farfalla. Distribuzione e habitat La specie è diffusa nell'area costiera del bacino del Mediterraneo e nell'Africa subsahariana Il suo habitat tipico è la macchia mediterranea, fino a 700-800 metri d'altitudine.

Even without the HR version will notice the quality of the detail of the plot of this uncommon butterfly wing. The color of the wings are wonderful.
The doubts I have in position, the light comes from the impression that the individual has been rotated 90 degrees clockwise.
A hair air plus there would be fine.

Hello Simone, you were able to hit a target difficult and uncommon for our lands. The Charaxes is a magnificent butterfly, whose beating wings resembles the wings of a bird and impetuous moves through the woods, stopping wherever there is something sweet to feed upon. I followed (chased) for a long time to try to photograph it, but always rests on the high branches of chestnut or strawberry so it is very difficult to get quality images. For this reason (and not without envy puntarella not bad) I make you my most sincere congratulations to both skill in capturing both the great quality of this image that returns to all lovers of nature photography, a beautiful portrait of a of the most beautiful butterflies ever. Complimentissimi and regards, Adolfo:-P:-P:-P
