Da piccola erano tra i miei preferiti
Thank you very much for your comments ^^
Yes, Southern Comma seems to be the English common name of this wonderful butterfly; unfortunately I have not been able to find an Italian equivalent yet.
It's beautiful!!
I would say it is some kind of Sphecidae, subfamily of Sphecinae (digger wasps). I'm not sure, however.
Pobably a Cicada orni, but I'm not sure about that

However, I think you wanted to write "Mutillidae" and not "Multilidae" in your description. Cheers :)
That's one of the most stunning creatures I've ever seen!
Oh, thanks! Interesting :)
Living in Europe, I instinctively associated this insect to an Oryctes Nasicornis. I had never heard of the Xyloryctes Jamaicensis before. Thanks again!
