Melitaea nevadensis
Oberthür, 1904
Nome Volgare:
Famiglia: Nymphalidae
Sottofamiglia: Satyrinae
Tribù: Melitaeini
Lunghezza ala anteriore mm. 16-22
Descrizione: specie mesofila. Specie polifaga. Le larve si sviluppano su diverse piante appartenti alle famiglie Plantaginaceae e Scrophulariaceae. È noto da tempo che Melitaea athalia e M. nevadensis (spesso indicata come M. celadussa) sono taxa separati. Il sequenziamento del DNA effettuato da Leneveu et al. (2009) dimostra che M. nevadensis non è in realtà specie sorella di M. athalia. Quest'ultima infatti risulta più vicina ad alcune specie asiatiche come M. ambigua.
Maschio: colore arancio con disegni nervulari e trasversali neri di ampiezza variabile che delimitano degli spazi del colore di fondo. Lo spazio semilunare presente nella fascia marginale delle ali anteriori, tra la terza nervatura mediana e la prima cubitale, è decisamente sporgente verso la base dell’ala rispetto agli altri. Velatura basale nera.
Femmina: simile al maschio ma generalmente più grande
Rovescio: ali anteriori di colore arancio con apice e bordo giallognoli e disegno maculare nero ridotto. Posteriori arancio con fasce basale e postdiscale divise dalle nervature in diversi spazi ovali bianco giallognoli. Lunule submarginali dello stesso colore.
Distribuzione: specie diffusa in tutta l'Italia continentale ad eccezione del Nord-Est, dove è sostituita da M. athalia. Ibrida con quest'ultima lungo una fascia che si estende dalla Francia attraverso la Svizzera in direzione di Venezia.
Habitat: prati e radure del piano basale e montano, sino a circa 1800 metri s.l.m.
Generazioni annuali: una sola con sfarfallamento in giugno-luglio. Una seconda con chiusura in agosto-settembre in alcune zone dell’Italia settentrionale.
Piante nutrici: Plantago; Anthirrhinum, Veronica, Linaria, Melampyrum.
Melitaea nevadensis
Oberthür, 1904
Vulgar Name:
Family: Nymphalidae
Subfamily: Satyrinae
Tribe: Melitaeini
Front wing length mm. 16-22
Description: mesophilous species. Polyphagous species. The larvae develop on different plants belonging to the Plantaginaceae and Scrophulariaceae families. It has long been known that Melitaea athalia and M. nevadensis (often referred to as M. celadussa) are separate taxa. DNA sequencing performed by Leneveu et al. (2009) shows that M. nevadensis is not actually sister species of M. athalia. The latter, in fact, is closer to some Asian species such as M. ambigua.
Male: orange color with black nervular and transversal designs of variable width that delimit the spaces of the background color. The semilunar space present in the marginal band of the fore wings, between the third median rib and the first cubital, is decidedly protruding towards the base of the wing with respect to the others. Basal black glaze.
Female: similar to the male but generally larger
Reverse: front wings of orange color with yellowish apex and border and reduced black macular design. Posterior orange with basal and postdiscal bands divided by the ribs in different oval yellowish white spaces. Submarginal lunulae of the same color.
Distribution: a species widespread throughout continental Italy with the exception of the North-East, where it is replaced by M. athalia. Hybrid with the latter along a strip that extends from France through Switzerland in the direction of Venice.
Habitat: meadows and clearings of the basal and mountain plain, up to about 1800 meters s.l.m |

Hi Silvio,
The flower is helping to frame the insect. The point of view is showing the details Melitaea nevadensis butterfly. The light is bringing out the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Ciao Silvio,
Nice shot with great exposure and contrast. Composition's also interesting with the upper part of the wings forming a semi-diagonal line. Perfect sharpness and depth as well. Good photo, congratulations!
Have a prosperous new year, kind regards, László
