Help me please, I don't know what kind of butterfly is this.
I took this photo in Ivanetu Mountains, and i could not find any data of this. |

Hello Cristian,
This is a fine sharp closed-wing capture of the Duke of Burgundy butterfly (Hamearis lucina). This is a female and she is of the second generation of the year. NIce composition too.
Thanks for sharing this one,
Regards,
Ivan

Buna Cristian,
Ai reusit o fotografie frumoasa cu acest fluture. POV-ul este bine ales redand in intregime modelul aripilor. Ai adaptat corect DOF-ul la subiect obtinabnd o redare foarte clara a detaliilor de pe aripile fluturelui.
TFS si toate cele bune,
Cristian
Hi Cris,
H. lucina is the sole European representative of the family Nemeobiidae, also called the Riodinidae. This is a family closely related to the Lycaenidae, but differing in some important respects. In particluar, the male foreleg is greatly reduced and is useless for walking. It is sometimes called the Duke of Burgundy Fritillary, but it is not closely related to the other Fritillaries, which are in the Family Nymphalidae. Your picture contains some very good details, although the colours seem a little pale to me. Perhaps it would gain from a little more saturation, especially of the reds. Thanks.
Alan
