Famiglia SATIRIDI

Lasiommata megera (Linnaeus 1767) Megera

Ali anteriori 19-25 mm

Farfalla di medie dimensioni, caratterizzata da una livrea arancione con un reticolo di disegni marroni. Le ali anteriori mostrano un grosso ocello apicale con pupilla, le posteriori quattro ocelli posdiscali, anch'essi con punto bianco centrale. Le parti inferiori delle ali anteriori ripetono gli stessi motivi della pagina supero-anteriore, mentre, posteriormente, evidenziano una trama di disegni confusi tra i quali si individua una delicata serie di ocelli cerchiati di bruno.
L'inverno viene trascorso allo stadio larvale. I primi sfarfallamenti avvengono già nella prima decade di marzo e proseguono con più generazioni fino a novembre. Il bruco, a vita notturna e di colore verde bluastro con linee longitudinali biancastre, si nutre di diverse Graminacee, come erba mazzolina, fienarola, orzo selvatico ecc.
Presente in Europa (salvo Scozia e gran parte della Scandinavia), Nordafrica, Asia Minore, Russia, Iran. Ovunque in Italia, dal livello del mare ai 1500 m. Nel territorio, è tra le specie più comuni, oltre che di precoce apparizione. Frequenta per lo più biotopi collinari assolati (strade campestri, margini di bosco, siepi e campagne coltivate).

Hi Silvio
Wonderful butterfly with magnicifent colors!
Excellent POV, sharpness and composition.
Thanks for sharing!
Best regards,
Siggi

Now there is that wonderful Italian yellow I am so familiar with thanks to your images and the way you use them both as subject and in interesting perch as done here. Your butterfly is exquisite and sharp. And if one translates from Italian as I do roughly, then notes are quite acceptable. Overall a very good presentation Silvio. A good start to the week...
Bob

Nice shot. Clear and sharp shot.

Mi cámara trabaja, pero la tuya aún más ajajja.
Bello y común satírido típico de esta época aquí también. Veo que tienes el mismo problemas que yo, osea, nos dejamos zonas muy iluminadas, en este caso la flor... a ver si mejoramos.

Merhaba Silvio,
Sarı çiçeğin üzerinde tüm detayların enfes bir şekilde sergilendiği bu kelebeğin harika bir makrosu olmuş. Renkler ve kompozisyon kusursuz görünüyor. Elinize sağlık.
