Macaone (Papilio machaon Linnaeus, 1758)

            La mia prima foto di farfalla...;-)

Il Macaone (Papilio machaon Linnaeus, 1758) è una farfalla della 
famiglia delle Papilionidae, famiglia prevalentemente tropicale, di cui solo 9 specie presenti in Italia.

Se disturba, estroflette da dietro la testa un paio di ghiandole a forma di corno (osmeterium), che emettono un odore repellente che tiene lontani i predatori.
Elegante ed agile nel volo, il maschio è anche difensore del proprio territorio; se capita di vederne due che volteggiano vicini in audaci acrobazie, probabilmente uno sta cercando di cacciare l'altro.

Anche il Macaone presenta il tipico comportamento da butterfly hilltopping, ovvero cerca di volare sopra il punto più alto del terreno in cui si trova (dominio).
