[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
One of Europe's most widespread butterflies it is found from the edge of the Sahara to northern Scotland and northern Scandinavia to Greece. It occupies many habitats and is found from sea level to high mountains (upto 3000m). Not surprisingly there are many variations across this range. The constant feature that greatly helps separate this species from several others is the presence of a black spot in the underside forewing cell. This distinguishes it from the otherwise very similar Chapman's Blue, A. thersites, and the larger brighter Escher's Blue, A. escheri. In northern Greece the Phalakron Blue, P. andronicus but this is so rare and local that it is unlikely to be encountered without specific expeditions to look for it. It is much larger than icarus. Confusion with other species is unlikely.

Hello Mariana,
A fine capture of a pair of P. icarus in copulo. Both partners are seen with fine sharpness, colours and lighting from an excellent POV and set in a pleasing composition on their leaf.
Thanks and have a good week,

Seara buna stimata doamna !
Se pare ca ai fost mai harnica decit sotul !
Daca el este pina in clipa de fata absent nemotivat ... nu acelasi lucru il poate spune omul despre tine.
Super captura, cu niste detalii frumoase si o claritate de top, felicitari.
O seara si o saptamina linistita,

Buna Mariana

Ce pereche misto surprinsa aici!
E greu sa prinzi asemenea fotografii, si sa le si retii clare si bine expunse, dar tu ai reusit aici foarte bine.
Sunt placut surprins sa vad ca doar f/8 a ajuns pentru ai pastra pe ambii parteneri in focus exact, dar cu atat mai bine cu cat fundalul a iesit asa de uniform si frumos.
Culorile si detaliile sunt bune iar compozitia classica.

Bravo si merci de postare
Horia

Hi Mariana,

A good capture of the two butterflies on the leave. The macro view is showing the details and colors of the bitterflies on the leave. The subject is well framed. It is sharp and clear. The afternoon light has a good effect on the colors. have a nice day.
