[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Portuguese]
It's the bigest Rophalocera that exists in Portugal. A big butterfly, also very beautiful. Wingspan 8cm.
It's feeding on excrements of a wild animal.
The larvas of this butterfly feeds on Arbutus unedo, know as "Medronheiro" in Portugal. They are very beautiful and have a green color, like the plant where they leave and feed.
This species hibernates during winter in larva's form till march when it completes the life cycle transforming into a pupa. About three weeks later, a new insect emerges from the pupa and we have this beautiful insect, the imago.
Is known in english as "Two-tailed pasha". In Portugal we call it "Borboleta do Medronheiro".
It has two generations a year in Portugal. Is at the second generation that the larvas hibernates during winter, on the foodplant.

Nice close-up for you first post, Paulo.
It's very small picture, you can post up to 800X pixles.
Nice colours and good details.
Well done.

Welcome to TN.

Paulo,

Otimas cores. A imagem esta um tanto pequena.

Bem vindo ao TN!

What a beautiful butterfly, Paulo. The details are very sharp, and the colors are good. Too bad the picture is so small. Thank you for sharing, and a warm welcome to TN. : )

Beautiful picture! Too bad we don't have those butterflies here up north .

Hi Paulo, a very nice butterfly, the image is a fraction small but nicely sharp and well coloured, rember you can post images upto 800 pixels X 800 px @72dpi @ just below 200k (196k) wich will give you a screen sized image.
Thank you for all your good words on my images it was very nice of you to spend so much time looking at my images.
Yours Robert

It's a very nice colourful butterfly and you have got a nice focus too.
But how could this become a so small image?

You have crop off some greate part of the original image, haven't you?

If you could capture this one in a better background, I could have been generous to give you full marks......;o)

What a beautiful butterfly ! I like the colored shapes on wings. Nice shot, but the format is a bit smal on screen to well appreciated ;-)

Amazing colors of this butterfly, Paulo. Great capture.
Regards Paolo

Oi Paulo, é realmente muito bonita.
Nunca vi desta nem em guias de identificação. Dá pra perceber que tem um certo gosto pelos lepidópteros. Legal...Trabalha nesta área?

Hola Paulo.
Ista e unha volvoreta realmente bela. A forma e as cores son espectaculares. E unha magoa que non publiques as tuas fotos un pouco mais grandes para aproveitar os 800x800 que ofrece TN, a asi poder difrutar mais do detalhe. Obrigado e un saudo dende Galiza.

Ola Paulo! Gostei da tua fotografia, esta uma macro bem conseguida!

A pity the pic is so small, but what a beautiful species !
This is one I never saw, it is really nice.
Thank you for sharing, Paulo.

Very nice capture of this butterfly.We don't have this species.Emin

Hi Paulo
So beautiful colors on these small wings.
It's great
Clear shot and details
I would like a bigger photo but its not a problem

TFS

Hello Paulo!
I'm still breeding two Charaxes jasius caterpillars and hopping that I'll manage to take some good photos when they change to butterflies.
Your picture is very impressive with all the magestic colours showned here.

My best regards,

Filipe.
