Qualche giorno fa ho postato il maschio, ora ecco la coppia, l'avevo catalogata come P. icarus...

Apertura alare 14-18 mm
Caratteri distintivi: punti basali neri sulle parte inferiore dell’ala anteriore; frange bianche con tratti scuri in corrispondenza delle nervature; maschio con parte superiore blu-celeste lucente; femmina con fascia submarginale di lunule arancioni sulle parte superiore dell’ala posteriore, debole sulle parte superiore dell’ala anteriore. Il maschio si può confondere con quello di P.icarus, che è azzurro-violetto con frange bianche senza tratti neri; la femmina con quella di P.icarus, che ha frange bianche senza tratti scuri, e di P.coridon, che ha la parte superiore con fasce submarginali di lunule arancioni meno vivaci.
Biologia e habitat: prati aridi e radure dal piano collinare a quello montano sino a circa 1800 m s.l.m.

Hello Silvio,
A beautiful picture of these two lovely butterflies. I like the pastel colors and the pretty patterns. The composition is very nice.Best regards Siggi

Ciao Silvio,
quando si dice che i particolari spesso fanno la differenza, in questo caso la maggior conoscenza della specie ti ha fatto apprezzare dei particolari che ti hanno indotto in una giusta identificazione, i particolari fanno la differenza anche nell'immagine come in questo accoppiamento su una magnifica ombrellifera con uno splendido contrasto dei bellissimi colori delle farfalle contro uno sfondo ideale.
Grazie e complimenti
Ciao Maurizio

Ciao Silvio. Lo sfondo uniforme esalta il contrasto con i colori. Dettaglio ancora una volta al top. Questi due amanti meritavano cotanta attenzione.

Hello Silvio !
I'm happy to be back and to be able to look at your gallery again - I missed all your butterflies ! :-) This one is specially beautiful, because you have captured a great moment and the flower on which the butterflies are sitting is wonderful. Together they look gorgeous. I also like the grey blurred BG, which makes the subject stand out nicely. Excellent details, splendid composition. Very well done !
Valérie.

Ciao Silvio,

A beautifully composed shot which demonstrates your artistic, as well as, your photographic skills.
Sharp, detailed and with fine saturation.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Bonjour Silvio,
Une image de grande finesse et avec une belle composition décentrée. Très occupés ces deux Lycaenidae sur le bel ombellifère! Les couleurs de ton image sont de grande subtilité aussi. Un posting très plaisant!
Une belle semaine
