La settimana scorsa ero in Italia e stavo passeggiando per la mia cittá con un'amica , quando vedemmo un nido di "non so che" in un albero che era in un giardino. Era proprio come quello della foto che vedete qua, ci avvicinammo e cercammo di capire cosa fosse... faceva un po' effetto... non riuscimmo a scoprire di che animale fosse e ce ne andammo un po' schifate.
Ieri passeggiando nella montagna/collina vicino a casa mia lo vidi di nuovo e scoprii che nido era... è il nido delle processionarie (v. foto sotto)!! Da piccola ne avevo paura perché mi hanno sempre detto that if you touch the rash is painful and still believe, but my husband said that if you fall on his head and become bald, but the first is a lie.
However, it is always better to look and not touch "!
AGGIORNAMENTO_MARZO 2011: someone explain to me what are the processionary ... I had not the faintest idea! Here is the explanation : Thaumetopoea pityocampa. The Procesionaria pine moth is a typically Mediterranean and is located in Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, coastal areas dlla Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and some parts of Germanis, Switzerland, Hungary and Bulgaria.
Cycle Biological: In summer, the butterflies appear to Processionariaias pine; mate and the female deposits eggs in the leaves of conifers.
The worms are born 30 or 40 days later, ie between mid-September and mid October (Northern Hemisphere). The worms build nests or silk bags that serve as shelter during the cold winter.
A spring or late winter (February to early April) bugs in a row down to the ground and that is why they call processionary, bury it and chrysalis (see photo above). Dalle
crisalidi nasceranno farfalle che in estate will daranno nuovo inizio a cycle. ***
Last week I was in Italy and walking in my town with a friend saw a nest of "do not know what" tree in a garden. It was like the one pictured above, we approach trying to understand what it was ... thing was a bit ... we do not understand what animal it was and we went a bit disgusted.
yesterday strolling through the woods near my house and I saw him do nest was discovered ... is the nest of budworms (see photo below). As a child I was afraid because I have always said that if you touch the skin pimples that hurt and I still think so, but my husband said that if you fall into the hair you get bald and that's a lie.
In any case it is better to "look not touch"!
ACTUALIZACIÓN_MARZO 2011: Someone me what are the budworms expić ... I had no idea! Here goes: Thaumetopoea pityocampa. The Processionary pine is a typical Mediterranean lepidopteran and distributed Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, coastal areas of Greece, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco ... and in some parts of Germany, Switzerland, Hungary and Bulgaria.
in Spain may be located throughout the Peninsula and the Balearics.
Life Cycle: Summer butterflies appear Processionary pine mate and the female lays eggs in the needles of the trees (they are called the leaves of conifers). The caterpillars hatch in 30 or 40 days from the start, ie between mid-September and mid October (Northern Hemisphere).
The caterpillars build silk nests or pockets that serve as shelter for the winter cold.
When spring arrives, or ending the winter (from February to early April), tracks straight down the ground, hence the name Processionary, bury and pupate in a cocoon (see photo above the chrysalis).
emerge from pupae in summer butterflies mate kicking off a new cycle.
