Ornithoptera croesus ( Latin )

provided by wikipedia LA

Ornithoptera croesus (Anglice Wallace's golden birdwing) est species papilionis in Maluku septentrionali endemica, sodalis gregis Ornithopterae priamus, qui cum croesus ad orientem Lineae Weberanae (simile Lineae Wallaceana) invenitur. Planta qua larva vescitur[1] Pararistolochia est.

Alfredus Russel Wallace naturalista in libro The Malay Archipelago 1869 edito ita scripsit: "Pulchritudo et splendor huius insecti inenarrabiles sunt, et solum naturalista acrem comprehendere potest commotionem quam eo tandem capto expertus sum. Cum id ex rete auferrem alasque amplissimas aperirem, violenter mihi pulsare coepit cor, sanguis in caput inruit, et me tunc multo languidiorem sentiebam quam umquam fui instantiam mortis mente comprehendens. Mihi residuum diei erat dolor capitis, nam tanta fuerat commotio effecta re cuius causam plurimi parum iustam crederent."[2]

Conservatio

Ornithoptera croesus olim putabatur species vulnerabilis ab IUCN, sed nunc species periclitata describitur.

  2. ↑ "The beauty and brilliancy of this insect are indescribable, and none but a naturalist can understand the intense excitement I experienced when I at length captured it. On taking it out of my net and opening the glorious wings, my heart began to beat violently, the blood rushed to my head, and I felt much more like fainting than I have done when in apprehension of immediate death. I had a headache the rest of the day, so great was the excitement produced by what will appear to most people a very inadequate cause."
