Brintesia circe (Fabricius 1775)
Ali anteriori 33-36 mm
Vistoso lepidottero (noto anche sotto il nome generico di Kanetisa) le cui femmine possono raggiungere un'apertura alare di 80 mm. Superiormente le ali sono brune segnate da una fascia bianca con un ocello apicale cieco sulle anteriori; le parti inferiori mostrano una trama di disegni mimetici e fasce bianche postdiscali molto evidenti. Maschio simile, ma più piccolo. Una sola generazione con larve svernanti e sfarfallamenti in giugno-luglio. Il bruco ha colorazione bruna con numerose fasce longitudinali chiare. Si nutre di erbe con preferenza per Bromus e Lolium.
Si trova dall'Europa occidentale fino all'Himalaya. In tutta l’Italia per lo più a sud della pianura Padana, compresa la Sardegna e la Sicilia ma esclusa l'isola d'Elba. Specie sciafila frequenta i boschi e le radure del piano basale e montano fino a oltre 1600 metri s.l.m. Una sola generazione annuale con sfarfallamento degli adulti da giugno ad agosto.

Ciao Silvio,
bellissima macro di questa splendida Circe, ottima definizione e colori luminosi che evidenziano bene le screziature di questa farfalla, ottima anche la scelta della composizione stretta con la farfalla incorniciata di verde.
Grazie e complimenti
Ciao Maurizio

Ciao Silvio,

Lovely macro capture of this adorable butterfly with great textures on its wings! Great sharpness and taken from a perfect POV along with nice use of the shallow DOF. The colors of the butterfly are perfectly shown and so are its wing's textures.

Very well done job!

best regards,
Paras

La farfalla tra le piu' difficili da beccare,sempre in giro o in pose impossibili,sei stato bravissimo a catturarla e mi immagino la fatica...ehehe...ottimi dettagli,forse un po' sovraesposta,cmq un ottimo lavoro...buona serata,LUCIANO

Ciao Silvio,

Yo tengo que aplaudir las características de los fondos que estás logrando en tus fotos mas recientes!... simplemente excepcionales, casi imposibles de describir. En esta foto esas ramas y hojas han creado un hermoso entramado de líneas, luces y texturas, que conforman un encuadre ideal para la mariposa captada en un ángulo perfecto y llena de detalles precisos.

Felicitaciones Silvio!

Bravo!

Un abrazo y saludos,

Jesús

Hi Silvio,

This wonderful butterfly reminds me of chocolate and vanilla - I love the browns and whites. An excellent macro with amazing details of the head, eye and wing patterns. Looks fantastic against the green leaves.

Jane

Hello Silvio
superb shot of this Brintesia Circe, you have taken it with very crisp clear details on the butterfly and the environment, the subject is very well illuminated
I like the wonderful green color of the BG
Have a good night,MF
