Painted Lady Butterfly

Painted Lady Butterfly The Painted Lady may be the most widespread butterfly in the world. It also known as the thistle butterfly and the cosmopolitan (because it is so widespread, occurring in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa). This flying insect lives in temperate and some tropical areas.

Egg: The Painted Lady begins its life cycle as an egg that is the size of a pin head. Eggs are pale green with 12 to 14 longitudinal ridges; they are laid on thistle, mallow, or hollyhock leaves. The incubation period is 3 to 5 days.

Caterpillar (larva): The caterpillar eats continually for 5 to 10 days before it pupates. The yellow-green striped, purple to black caterpillar has long spines on each segment. The caterpillar is up to 1.25 inches (3 cm) long. It builds a silky, webbed nest as it feeds, usually eating thistle, mallow, malva, hollyhock, sunflower, or canola. As the larva grows, it sheds its skin (this is called molting). The time between sheddings is called an instar; each instar has slightly different coloring.

Buna Horia

Nu ma surprinde titlul tau aici deloc...chiar e si un fluture foarte frumos, si un cadru impecabil si extrem de fotogenic :)
O fotografie intr-adevar foarte frumoasa, cu niste culori superbe si o simetrie care se potriveste de minune aici.
Adancimea mica a campului vizual e si ea binevenita aici si scoate putin in evidenta corpul, capul si antenele fluturelui, elemente care beneficiaza si de o claritate impecabila.

Felicitari si merci de postare

Hi Horia.
I think pictured by you wonderful specimen of Vanessa is sitting on the same flower which the fly form my last shot is sitting on (it was a leaf of the same flower I suppose). Simply amazing scene. Colours and details of the butterfly, flower petals and shot at whole. Perfect sunlight. Very impressive colourful picture. Bravo.
Alexei.

Hello Horia, MF!

A lovely macro capture of the Painted lady with superb details! The lady enhances the beauty of the flower too :)

I like the great contrast between the colors of the butterfly and the flower. The sharpness is great and the POV from top, works well here.

Great composition!

best regards,
Paras

Hello Horia,
Even though the colours of this Painted Lady are rather overpowered by the bright red flower that it is sitting on you have taken her from a great POV to show her with open wings with fine sharpness and lighting.
Thanks and best regards,
Ivan
