[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This species is rare in my country, but not protected specie.
It's the little of its kind (Melitaea) only 30-42 mm wide wings.
The female is a little bigger and darker then the male.
It has two life generations (bivoltina).
Their larva hibernates and has grey, black and yellow colours. They feed on several plants like Verbascum thapsus and several species of Linaria and Plantago.
It flies from May till September up to 1000 meters of altitude.
It likes to rest on the soil with wings wide open to get sunlight and warming. This is one of the best opportunities to take photos.

Hello Paulo, Nice closeup with great colors and light. Perhaps your DOF could be greater here IMHO. Well done and TFS!

Hello Paulo!
I realy love this shot!

Hola Paulo. E unha bonita volvoreta, e a composicion car rocas esta moi bonita tambem, mais a parte esquerda do insecto semella fora de foco. O F:3.1 non foi suficiente ista vez. Saudos, meu amigo.

I saw similiar butterfly today but I'm not sure about ID. Beautifull picture Paulo. Focus is little soft but it made great mood with rocky BG. I like it very much!

Hello Paulo Henrique!
Personal assessment of the photo: very good.
Strong visual impact.
Aptness of the photo for the site: excellent.
Personal assessment of the note: complete.
Thank you very much for sharing.

You have a lovely portfolio of all the "leps"

The colors and exposure is perfect in this capture. My only nit is a shallow DOF. F3.1 is to wide open for these critters. Steo down on the aperture and the wings would be in focus.

Very well done.

Hi Paulo - good macro of a nice butterfly ;-) Beautifull colors, good DOF and we can see many details. Well done !
