[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Green-veined White (Pieris napi) is a butterfly of the Pieridae family.
Appearance, behaviour and distribution
Widespread across Europe, Asia including the Indian subcontinent and North America, it is found in meadows, hedgerows and woodland glades but not as often in gardens and parks like its close relatives the Large and Small Whites, for which it is often mistaken. Like other "white" butterflies, the sexes differ. The female has two spots on each forewing, the male only one. The veins on wings of the female are usually more heavily marked. The underside hindwings are pale yellow with the veins highlighted by black scales giving a greenish tint, hence Green-veined White! Unlike these two butterflies it rarely chooses garden cabbages to lay its eggs on, preferring wild crucifers.

Hi Siegfried,

Impressive approach, we see this butterfly in detail, the exposure is at the limit, however the result is good and has made the picture has a pretty interesting character.

Hi Siegfried. This is a first class close up of the Green-veined White butterfly. Which you have taken with sharp focusing and fine detail. With rich colours. We can see all of the wing markings. well taken TFS.

Hallo Siegfried,

A superb macro capture of the beautiful Green-veined White butterfly with nice details!
I like the sharpness and POV here with great show of natural colors. A great contrast can be seen between the colors of the butterfly and the purple flower on which it is perching.

Very well done!

best regards,
Paras

Hola Siegfried,
no se que ocurre últimamente en tus fotografías que hay una evidente falta de nitidez, a pesar de ear bien enfocadas y plasmarse bien los colores !

Saludos.
