The Machaon butterfly
The swallowtail ( P. machaon ) is a butterfly belonging to the Papilionidae family. It is one of the largest European butterflies and considered by many to be one of the most beautiful. It is a native species, present throughout the Italian territory, which frequents sunny meadows preferring areas with a mild climate. Its caterpillars in the wild feed mainly on wild Apiaceae such as carrot and wild fennel. Unfortunately, like other butterflies, it is undergoing a sharp decline mainly due to the disappearance of its habitat (uncultivated meadows).
