The upperside of the male is creamy white. Fore wing is irrorated with black scales at base and along costa for a short distance; apex and termen above vein 2 more or less broadly black, the inner margin of the black area with a regular even curve; in one or two specimens a small longitudinally narrow black spot in interspace 3. Hind wing : uniform, irrorated with black scales at base, a large black subcostal spot before the apex, and in a few specimens indications of black scaling on the termen anteriorly. Underside, fore wing : white, slightly irrorated with black scales at base of cell and along costa, apex light ochraceous brown; a large black spot in outer half of interspace 1, and another quadrate black spot at base of interspace 3. Hind wing: light ochraceous brown closely irrorated with minute black scales ; the subcostal black spot before the apex shows through from the upperside. Antennae black, white at apex; head, thorax and abdomen black, with some white hairs ; beneath : whitish.

Female upperside similar to that of the male but the irroration of black scales at the bases of the wings more extended; the black area on apex and termen of fore wing broader, its inner margin less evenly curved ; a conspicuous large, black spot in outer half of interspace 1, and another near base of interspace 3. On the hind wing the subcostal black spot before apex much larger, more prominent. Underside: similar to that of the cf but the apex of the fore wing and the whole surface of the hind wing light ochraceous yellow, not ochraceous brown ; the black discal spots on fore wing much larger. Antennae, head, thorax and abdomen as in the male

Hi Siggi,

Good photo of this butterly. It is a rather difficult subject but well solved. The white wings look well with the light comming through. Image quality is good with sharp details of the insect.

Thank you for sharing,
Cristian

Hello Siggi, the light is beautiful and the sharpness is great, well done, thanks!

Diría que es un interesante juego de luces , sombras y desenfoques :-) aunque es una fotografía que a pesar de sus bonitos colores podría mejorarse en luz y sobre todo en encuadre.
Un abrazo Siegfried: Josep Ignasi.

Czesc Siggi!

Piekne, sloneczne i kolorowe zdjecie popularnego motyla. Ladna kompozycja i boczny punkt widzenia. Moze troche przycialbym fotografie z lewej zeby kompozycja byla mniej centralna.

hello siggi,

nice capture of this beautiful insect, the lighting is quite interesting here, the wings look so beautiful with the way light is filtered through, i would have liked a tight composition however thats my view of looking at it, You have done a great job, well done,

I am taking break for a couple of weeks and hope to see your good work again when i come back,

regards
