Scatata poche ore fa, non penso di averla vista mai, dovrebbe essere nuova per me di sicuro non l'ho riconosciuta, chi mi aiuta:)?
Thanks Ozgur Femmina di Leptotes pirithous, farfalla della famiglia Lycaenidae.
La superficie dorsale delle ali è di colore blu violaceo nei maschi, bruno grigiastro con macchie violacee nella femmina. La superficie ventrale è in entrambi i sessi di colore biancastro, con macchie brune disposte secondo un disegno geometrico complesso. Le ali posteriori, che hanno una esile coda in corrispondenza della seconda nervatura cubitale, presentano due caratteristiche macchie nere contornate di verde e di arancio.

Può essere confusa con le seguenti specie: Lampides boeticus e Cacyreus marshalli.

È presente in Africa del Nord, Europa meridionale e Asia minore.
In Italia è abbastanza comune in tutte le regioni, isole comprese.

Tra le specie vegetali preferite dalle larve ci sono diverse specie di Fabaceae (Melilotus officinalis, Melilotus alba), Lythraceae (Lythrum salicaria), Polygonaceaee (Polygonum aviculare), Plumbaginaceae (Plumbago spp.), Ericaceae (Calluna vulgaris).

Nice shot and composition on this one.

Convoluted patterns which would make a great jigsaw puzzle...almost impossible to tell what is butterfly and what is the perch besides colour subtle...they blend well together in nature here..not one sticks out from the other...as if all tings are related...and they are!

Hi Silvio. Not to sure what this butterfly is but yoy have taken a fine close up with good detail and bright colours. Stands out well against the plain green BG. well done TFS.

Hi Silvio
Despite the overexposures on white stripes it is a very good shot. Perfect OOF homogenous background. Beautiful green color, good sharpness and perfect diagonal composition. Exposure is the only problem
Best wishes
