Sicherlich geweckt durch ein paar w\u00e4rmende Sonnenstrahlen,\u00a0 (die wir letzte Woche mal hatten \ud83d\ude42 !), war es pl\u00f6tzlich da: das kleine Tagpfauenauge (nymphalis io<\/em>). Der Schmetterling fiel mir beim Giessen der Pflanzen im Winterquartier\u00a0 auf\u00a0 (dieses ist \u00fcbrigens eine gedeckte , verglaste Terrasse wo die Temperaturen im Winter zwischen minus 3\u00b0 bis plus 6 \u00b0C schwanken, je nach Aussentemperatur).\u00a0 An der Scheibe flatternd,\u00a0 versuchte es wohl einen Ausgang zu finden. Ich wusste, dass ein paar wenige Schmetterlingsarten, darunter auch das Tagpfauenauge, den Winter als voll ausgebildetes Insekt bei uns an einem gesch\u00fctzten, k\u00fchlen Ort \u00fcberleben k\u00f6nnen. Beobachtet hatte ich es bis anhin allerdings noch nie. Wahrscheinlich ist mir dieses Exemplar vorher nicht aufgefallen, weil die \u00fcberwinternden Schmetterlinge ihre Fl\u00fcgel so zusammenfalten, dass sie wie ein verwelktes Blatt aussehen. Und verwelkte Bl\u00e4tter gibt es in einem Pflanzenwinterquartier ja zuhauf. War dieser Schmetterling nun bereits auf der Nahrungssuche\u00a0 (w\u00e4re ja noch etwas zu fr\u00fch), und kann er dann erneut in die K\u00e4ltestarre fallen, in der er ja nichts zu sich nimmt bis zum richtigen Fr\u00fchlingserwachen? Ich weiss es nicht. Vielleicht versteckt er sich ja wiederum in den vielen Blument\u00f6pfen (Agapanthus, Kamelien etc), die da herumstehen.\u00a0 Ich wollte es beobachten. Aber am n\u00e4chsten Morgen war er verschwunden, die Scheibe leer und eisig kalt. Irgendwo muss er sein, idealerweise in einem der Blument\u00f6pfe, stelle ich mir vor. Wunschgedanken. Aber f\u00fcr einen kurzen Moment hat es mich – mitten im Winter –\u00a0 einen leichten Hauch Sommer versp\u00fcren lassen, dieses kleine, zarte und\u00a0 wundersch\u00f6ne Lebewesen.<\/p>\n

Last week, when the sun was shining for a short moment \ud83d\ude42 , it was suddenly here: the little peacock butterfly (nymphalis io<\/em>)<\/span>. I found it by accident when watering my plants in their winter quarters (by the way this is a sheltered terrace with windows where the temperature in winter ranges from -3\u00b0C to +6\u00b0C depending on the temperatures outside)<\/span>. Flapping its wings, it probably tried to find a way out. I know that a few sorts of butterflies are able to overwinter as a fully developped insect even here in\u00a0 a sheltered and cool place. Peacock butterflies belong to these species. But up to now I never had the chance to see this. Perhaps I didn’t take notice of it as butterflies which are overwintering do fold their tiny wings in a special way and so they look like a faded leaf. And there usually are a lot of faded leaves in winter quarters. I wondered if this butterfly was already searching for food (but this would obviously be too early) or<\/span> returning into torpidity where it can be without any food till its real awakening in Spring. I didn’t know. Perhaps it will hide again in one of the various pots and containers\u00a0 (agapanthus, camelias etc.) standing on the terrace. I wanted to wait and see. But the following day it has disappeared, the window was empty, cold and icy again. However, it must be somewhere and so I hope it will be staying in one of these pots. This would be the best thing for its survival. Wishful thinking. But for a very short moment this beautiful and delicate creature <\/span><\/span>t<\/span>ouched me with a little summer breeze though we still have winter now.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
