Camouflage
Many species of butterflies (ropalóceros) used camouflage techniques to stay safe from their predators, particularly birds. They have developed systems that can make them stain almost invisible in some habitats. This is the case of Vanessa atalanta, one of the most widespread species of butterflies in the world. If you are in an area of land is arid poses on the floor folding their wings, so you see the back of ash and ochre colors simulating the ground. If you are in a habitat of flowers and vegetation are kept open their wings and showing the upper level, red, brown and white.

Merhaba Amadeo,
Mükemmel bir kelebek makrosu. Yeşil fon üzerinde enfes bir kontrast oluşturan kahverengi ve turuncu rekleriyle enfes bir kompozisyon. Çok hoş bir çalışma olmuş. Eline sağlık.

Hi Amadeo.
It is really terrific shot. I like all in it. Butterfly o a twig with impressive leaves create a wonderful composition. Combination of details/sharpness of the insect and leaves at the one side and smoothness of the colourful BG on the other side are splendid as well as the impressive 3D-effect and clearness of the colours. Bravo. Superb job.

Hello Amadeo,
Excellent composition and framing here. The colors are well saturated and very beautiful. The Painted Lady stands out very well against that OOF green backround. Sharp detil with perfect DOF. Nice work!
