Papilio machaon.
En la fotografía que presento podéis ver su oruga.
Mariposa grande,puede superar los 75 mm. Una de las mariposas de nuestra tierra más hermosas. Inevitablemente te la quedas mirando cuando pasa. Vive en Europa aunque no en todos sus Países, N. de Africa, parte de Asia y en Norteamérica. De 2 a 3 generaciones anuales según zonas. Sus orugas viven sobre plantas umbelíferas ( zanahoria, hinojo .. ) que como curiosidad, y si se las perturba, sacan dos pequeñas glándulas de color rojizo en forma de cuernos. Vuela hasta los 2.000 m.

Hello Josep,

It is a very good shot of the larvae. DOF is very good keeping in sharp focus the whole body and making visibel even finest details. The soft light you have chosen is very good rendering natural colors.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Ciao Josep,
bellissima cattura di bruco di Macaone, quest'anno ho fotografato spesso la farfalla ma non ho ancora visto il bruco che come bellezza già anticipa il risultato finale; eccellenti POV e composizione, molto buona la nitidezza, splendidi i colori.

Hi Josep.
I like the shot so much. I usually do not like caterpillars but this species is very attractive and I like its photos. Yours is very nice. Stems create a beautiful surroundings for your model. DOF is great. Details of the insect are perfect as well as a blurriness of the BG. Well done and kind regards.
Alexei.

Hola Josep,
a natural picture of the caterpillar. Nicely composed and very sharp details
of plant surfaces and the caterpillar as well.
Best wishes, Peter

Hello Josep,
Nicely done through this mix of lines. And the subject isn't really far-out stuff. On the contrary it is an outstanding 'line'
through its colours and patterns. Now, I'll stop looking at it 'cause I still want to walk in a straight line:-)
Well done
TFS
