[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Comma (Polygonia c-album) is a species of butterfly, common in the United Kingdom and with a distribution across Europe and temperate Asia to Japan and south to Morocco. Similar species are found in the United States and Canada. It has a white marking on its underwings resembling a comma. The wings have a distinctive ragged edge, apparently a cryptic form as the butterfly resembles a fallen leaf. The caterpillars are also cryptic, resembling a bird dropping.

In the 19th century the British population of comma butterflies crashed, and by 1920 there were only two sightings. The cause for this decline is unknown, and from about 1930 the population recovered and it is now one of the more familiar butterflies in Southern England, and is now resident in Scotland and in North Wales.

Excelente enfoque Sierfried, con una gama de colores muy lograda. Especial mención a esa base de flores muy apropiada y que da un interés añadido a tu trabajo.

Hallo Siggi!

Du machst die Sache nicht einfach: ich weiss nicht recht, ob ich mehr Gefallen an der Blume oder am Schmetterling habe. Nun, am besten ich füge beide untrennbar zusammen und verliere mich in der frohen Farbenpracht...

Grüessli

Markus

hi Siegfried
belle image de ce papillon, le support violet va parfaitement à sa couleur brune. Le pov est bien choisi.

Hallo Siegfried
Il est très bien, et surtout très difficile à prendre, car il bouge toujours.
Merci pour cette belle prise de vue
