Description

Oggi mi sono dovuto assentare quasi tutto il giorno , ho accampagnato Carmen per una visita ortopedica a Piazza al Serchio , in Garfagnana ( oltre due ore di auto sotto la pioggia ) . Solo da poco mi sono rimesso al computer , ma gli occhi si chiudono , non so quanto riesco a rimanere . Non sono ancora riscito a vedere i commenti degli amici e i nuovi inserimenti . Inserisco una foto , che era già pronta e non richiede quindi particolari attenzioni. Today I had to be away most of the day, I accampagnato Carmen to visit orthopedic Piazza al Serchio in Garfagnana (more than two hours' drive in the rain). Just recently I went back to the computer, but his eyes are closed, do not know how I can stay. I'm not still a risk to see comments from friends and new entries. I insert a photo, which was ready and require no special care. The Holly Blue (Celastrina argiolus), is a butterfly that belongs to the Lycaenids or Blues family and is native to Eurasia and North America. In India, it is known as the Hill Hedge Blue In Europe, the first generation feeds mainly on Holly (Ilex aquifolium) but the second generation uses a range of foodplant] This species was originally described as Papilio argiolus by Linnaeus in 1758, and refers to the examples flying in Europe. In their monograph on the Lycaenopsis group of polyommatine genera, Eliot & Kawazoe, 1983, list 14 taxa as valid subspecies names, plus many further synonyms to which they accord lesser status. According to Eliot & Kawazoe, 1983, these 14 subspecies are divided into four groups . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_Blue Good evening and good weekend Thanks for the comments and the favourites of previous image
