Lycaena phlaeas (Linnaeus 1761) Argo bronzeo

Ali anteriori 12-15 mm

Licenide dalle ali anteriori rosso-dorate, con fascia marginale scura e macchie nere. Le ali posteriori sono brune con margine posteriore rossiccio e dentellato; portano, inoltre, un abbozzo di appendici caudali. Inferiormente, la livrea è di tonalità fulva con macchie nere orlate di giallo sulle anteriori e colore bruno-grigiastro sulle posteriori, con sparsi piccoli puntini neri.

In genere due o tre generazioni, talvolta anche quattro in dipendenza dalle condizioni climatiche. Il bruco, lungo non più di 15 mm, si presenta tozzo e col corpo verde percorso lateralmente da due linee rossastre. Si nutre di Poligonacee (gen. Rumex e Polygonum); quelli dell'ultima generazione svernano e riprendono lo sviluppo e la conseguente ninfosi nella primavera successiva.

Diffusa con alcune sottospecie dalle regioni orientali nordamericane al Giappone. Quella europea, presente in tutto il continente, oltre che in Nordafrica, è una delle farfalle più comuni, spingendosi dalla pianura ad oltre i 2000 m. Nel nostro territorio la si osserva facilmente nelle radure boschive e nelle campagne coltivate.

Hello Silvio,
this is a perfect shot of the Lycaena phlaeas.
Sharpness, Colours, Contrast to Background and POV are just great.

Ciao Silvio. Ancora girano in quel di Forca Canapine? Splendido POv dall'alto e magnifica luce ad esaltare i colori. Amabile compo.

Roberto

Buena luz, encuadre y sobre todo trabajo con el color.
Saludos Silvio.

Ciao Silvio
bellissima composizione con inquadratura molto particolare sula piccola Lycaena: la luce morbida da ancor più vigore ai bei colori sia della piccola farfalla ottimamente a fuoco sia alle sfumature del fiore su cui è posata.

Hallo Silvio
An absolutely marvellous capture filled with a display of colour and feeling of absolute serenity. I cannot say which I like the most, the flowers or the butterfly. Both are really amazing but each has their own qualities to value. The patterns and markings on the wings of the butterfly is delightful and spectacular. The flowers appear sunny and bright. A great image with a fine arrangement of colours, which is a definite feast for the eye. Kind regards and thanks for sharing.
Best regards

Ciao Silvio,

Lovely macro capture from this adorable butterfly with wonderful details!
The colors are so awesome and the sharpness is well done. The POV and DOF are perfectly managed. The flower adds another piece of beauty to the capture. The blurry BG is simply great. Well done, my friend.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Silvio,

This is so perfect with the beautiful butterfly surrounded by the petals of the pretty flower. A marvelous macro showing off the wing markings and body is such fine detail and texture. The setting and composition are fantastic.

Hello Silvio, Well shot and I personally like the frame. The top view is very nice and with lovely colors. Now I am back will catch up more later. Ganesh

Hi Silvio,
I add my compliments to those of the others. L. phlaeas is of course a spectacular butterfly species and you present it well. I suggest that you try to rotate the picture by 90 degrees; maybe the composition changes, the advantage would be for the butterfly to point upward.
Best regards
Dietrich

ciao Silvio

i love the POV and the composition
Have a good night
Jacqueline

Hola Silvio,
