Class: Insecta

Order: Lepidoptera

Family: Nymphalidae

Subfamily: Limenitidinae

Genus: Limenitis

Species: L. camilla

The (Eurasian) White Admiral (see also Limenitis arthemis), Limenitis camilla, is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. They are found in woodland throughout southern Britain and much of Europe and Asia, extending as far east as Japan.

Adult white admirals have black wings with white bands. The contrasting colours help to break up the outline of the wing, camouflaging it from predators. They have a wing span of approximately 60-65 mm and have a distinctive, elegant flight consisting of short periods of wing beats, followed by long glides.

The white admiral feeds on bramble blossom and honeydew and the female will lay its eggs singly on wisps of honeysuckle growing in dense woodland. The caterpillars are green with red-brown hairs and are camouflaged on a leaf, by a mixture of their own dropping and silk. As autumn approaches it will form a tent-like structure made of leaf tissue known as a hibernaculum which it then secures to the stem with silk before hibernating. The caterpillar will then awaken the following spring and after a brief spell of feeding will moult, revealing a spiny green skin. It will then pupate during the summer, forming a green and gold chrysalis. After approximately two weeks the adult will emerge.




Questa non e' certamente una delle mie migliori foto,ma e' la prima e l'unica di questa specie di cui sono in possesso,mi auguro che sia comunque di vostro gradimento.

Complimenti per la cattura Reducta o Camilla che sia, specie terribilmente difficile e credo raramente visibile dalle nostre parti. Scatto unico e quindi accontentiamoci anche se non è, come dici certamente una bomba.

Hi Luciano,

it the bright part under and behind the butterfly, otherwise

Have a nice Wekend
Best Regards
Gert

Oh Luciano e questa dove te la sei tenuta nascosta tutto sto tempo, certo non è la qualità a cui ci hai abituati, la foglia è sovraesposta ma chissenefrega di fronte a cotanta bellezza, e poi mica l'ho incontrata mai sta Camilla dalle mie parti, bello vedere una prima con questo cielo grigio, grazie di cuore, tra domani e dopodomani se non nevica provo a beccare gli ultimi rimasugli di una stagione che è stata favolosa, ciao Silvio

Ciao Luciano amico!

Beatiful work, with this type of light against, always it is difficult to achieve this type of results.

In this case the set is excellent! I love the ligth in the edge of wins!

Good work!

Congratulations

Ciao Luciano,

A macro capture of this lovely butterfly with superb details! There is bit softness on some parts ofthe butterfly but overall, it works fine for the whole picture.

I like the great contrast between the colors of the butterfly and the blurry green BG. The sharpness is great and the POV is superb.

best regards,
Paras

do you find yourself wishing summer and fall would have stayed a bit longer...well fall is technically much longer

Ciao Luciano,
sembra proprio ritagliata ed incollata, in certi punti appare come solarizzata, una bella composizione con un ottimo gioco di luci ed ombre, a me non dispiace il forte rumore presente sullo sfondo.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona domenica
Ciao Maurizio

anche la Camilla sei riuscito a beccare,Luciano..buono il compromesso per la difficile situazione di luce,dettagli e definizione da migliorare.....
sciao sERGIO

Bonjour Luciano,
Tu nous montres ici un papillon très rarement montré sur TN. Etrange car il semble que ce soit un papillon assez répandu. Moi en tout cas, je ne l'ai jamais vu. Bons cadrage et présentation. Même si l'image n'est pas parfaite, c'est un document de valeur.
Bon dimanche !
Amicalement
Anne
