Boloria (Clossiana) titania (Esper, 1793)

Titania's Fritillary

Titania's fritillary is the biggest of the Clossiana genus.
The upperside is well marked, with what look like a row of little chess pawns on the hindwing, making for very easy identification.
It is common in the Alps from the end of June through until August.
Boloria titania often visits Arnica montana flowers, where is easily to photograph.

Ciao Marcello,
... the next beautiful picture in your collection. Bright light and brilliant warm colours result in a summer impression.
But in spite of the strong sunlight, there isn't any sign of overexposure - instead the picture is well exposed.
Exact focus and excellent sharpness, as usual.
One question: The markings on the left forewing are lighter compared to those on the right one. Do you have an explanation?
Best wishes, Peter

Hi Marcello.
Simply great picture of the beautiful butterfly on fine flower and at wonderful surroundings. Lights and colours are fantastic, They are clear, rich and fine. Composition is spot on as well as the details of the insect and petals and well blurred BG. Bravo and my compliments. Perfect job.

Hi Marcello,

as so often with your pictures, spectacular, beautiful and entomologically interesting! You were lucky that you had this butterfly in perfect condition, no scales are missing. But then, you still had to find the good moment, the right composition, a suitable background. Well done Marcello!

Best regards
Dietrich
