COLIAS CROCEUS AGAIN

This year this species is so numerous that I made several pictures of it. I don't have the intention to show the whole series, but just the last one seen close to my house on these orange flowers, flowers which I don't really like. But there were so many yellow Clouds on it . I thought that the colors were matching quite well. The fact that we can see a little bit from the inner wings was also interesting.
I don't come back on the description.
We have now colder weather and there are only a few insects around.

Hi Anne . As you say its interesting to see both side of the wing at the same time not often seen . But with your side view we can see all of the markings with fine detail and natural colours. The COLIAS CROCEUS stands out from the orange Marigold flower . I like the OOF BG. well done TFS.
Nick..

Ciao Anne, splendid colias in a lovely composition with fantastic colors, fine details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Bonsoir Anne,
C'est une année à Colias, comme cela a été dit sur ce site. Celui-ci est entrouvert, ce qui est plutôt rare. Excellents détails. Quant à ces fleurs (des tagettes?), elles ont au moins le mérite d'attirer les papillons, commes les Budleia. Bonne soirée,
Catherine

Hi Anne,

A marvelous macro of this pretty butterfly from nice POV with delightful composition, immaculate details and fine colours.
TFS and have a nce night!
Cheers,

Bayram

Guten Abend Anne,
was für wunderschönen Farben !!! Sowohl die Blume als auch der Schmetterling haben super Farben.
Viele Grüße,
Adrian

Bonjour Anne,
Voici de chatoyantes couleurs encore estivales. Face aux oeillets d'Inde (ton jardin?) le Colias paraît presque pâle. Belle netteté sur les ailes et les yeux de l'insecte.
Amicalement

Ciao Anne,
un'altra bellissima immagine di Colias croceus, come sottolinei una delle farfalle fra le specie più numerose e frequenti in questa stagione, ottima nitidezza e meravigliosi i colori del fiore e dello sfondo, armoniosa e molto piacevole la composizione.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona serata
Con amicizia

Hi Anne,
very beautiful butterfly. It comes out of the canvas excellently in beautiful soft colours of the yellowish hues. The petals of the flower too distictively attractive and very complementary to the overall shot.
lovely composition.

Liebe Anne,
dass ein Postillion den Blick auf seine bunte Flügeloberseite in Ruhe preisgibt, ist schon etwas sehr seltenes. Mir noch nie geglückt, und Postillions in ausreichender Schärfe im Flug zu erhaschen erst recht nicht. Sehr gute Detailschärfe.
Die kraftvollen Tagetesblüten haben es geschafft, mit ihrem satten Orange den bunten Falter überraschend heftig zu übertönen, doch auch in ihrer ungewohnt zarten Blässe ist Crocea schön. Auch in Wien und Umgebung flogen viele ihrer Art den ganzen sonnigen September lang. Heute aber ist hier der erste wolkenverhangen kühle Tag seit Wochen, und alle Postillions, die den Zug nach Süden noch nicht genommen haben, ruhen klamm im trockenen Gras. Mit fest geschlossenen Flügeln.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter
