The Canary red admiral, Vanessa vulcania was thought to be a subspecies of the Indian red admiral, Vanessa indica. Recent studies have decided however that it is a separate species in its own right. (Leestman 1992, based on differences in wing pattern and shape and small differences in male genitalia).

Hi Vicma!

You present us a beautiful butterfly picture. The colors are superb, the richness of the details is impressive. I also like the coloured and nicely blurred background very much.

Kind regards

Markus

Hola Victor,
a very precisely detailed, splendidly coloured and well composed portrait of your wonderful endemic butterfly Vanessa vulcanica - so closely related to Vanessa indica that it must be a fascinating relic of a cool period when there was a link of humid subtropical forests from India through Northern Africa to the Canaries some 15.000 years ago. Excellent presentation - even taken on the first day of this year. Thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Bonjour Vicma
Très belle prise de ce vulcain, très belle couleurs et bonne netteté, une belle macro.
Amicalement Robi

Bella e interesante especie Víctor, antes de ver el nombre pensaba que se trataba de Vanessa carduii, que tenemos por aquí y precisamente publiqué hace un par de días.
Bien captada , parece una estatuílla por la pose y los colores están fielmente captados. Supongo que los "mariposeros" se alegrarán de ver este especímen.
Suerte q me visitas ya que a veces solo respondo a las votaciones, más por pereza que por otra cosa.
