Famiglia ESPERIDI

Carcharodus alceae (Esper 1780) Alcea
Ali anteriori 13-16 mm

Farfalla di piccole dimensioni con parti superiori marroni sulle quali fanno spicco piccole tacche trasparenti, inferiormente il colore è più pallido con macchie dal contorno poco definito sulle ali posteriori. Le femmine sono in media più grandi, ma simili ai maschi nella colorazione. Questi ultimi presentano, peculiarità della famiglia, una piega con androconio sulla costa delle ali anteriori.
Compare in Aprile e dà luogo a due o tre generazioni. I bruchi, verde grigiastri, con testa grande e collo netto, hanno protorace nero e giallo. Vivono a spese di Malvacee, delle quali accartocciano le foglie con fili di seta entro cui vivono e svernano quelli dell'ultima generazione.
Presente in Nordafrica ed Europa centrale e meridionale, fino all'Asia centrale. È specie prevalentemente collinare, sebbene possa spingersi oltre i 2000 m. Nel territorio è alquanto comune, riscontrabile in radure e prati fioriti soleggiati.

I like the contrast between the overall brown sepia like effect & colourful lilac flower. Good sharpness on the moth. Tfs

Hi Silvio,
Fantastic lighting on the wings! Brilliant shot! Bravo! Annie

Infatti,sembra il frutto di una elaborazione soprattutto per i toni di colore. Siccome non è così non posso fare altro che dirti un enorme Bravo!
