VANESSA CARDUI

Painted Lady
Distelfalter
Vanesse du chardon

This migrating butterfly seems to be arrived to Europe in great flocks this year. Last year I dind't spot any and this year we can see them everywhere in great numbers. Our Italian friends have reported this alrady 2-3 weks ago.
They fly very fastly and we can recognize them at their way to move.
The butterfly I caught was sitting on a fine Aster alpinus flowering in our Botanical Garden.

Bonjour Anne,
Yes, Painted Ladies have even come to Sweden: I have seen several specimens worn from the flight. This one however looks fresh and you have taken a fine capture showing the underside of the wings with excelent sharpness and lighting in a fine composition on the Aster flower.
Merci et bonne soirée,
Amicalement,
Ivan

Bonjour Anne
très belle prise de cette Vanesse du Chardon ou Belle-dame
Quelle netteté, on peut voir tous les petits poils de son corps et les couleurs sont superbes, j'adore sa pose sur ces jolies fleurs mauves avec un très beau point de vue
excellent travail

Bonjour Anne,

ce qu'il y a de superbe dans cette photo, c'est que et le papillon et les fleurs donnent toutes leurs couleurs. Souvent, on ne saisit que l'insecte, et la fleur est dans le flou!

Bien capté!
Je suis contente d'avoir découvert ta galerie!

Hallo Anne,
eine wunderchönes macro von diesem Falter. Under Kontrast mit der Farbe der Blüten ist toll
Viele Grüße und ein schönes Pfingstfest,
Achim

Ciao Anne,
meravigliosa immagine di Vanessa cardui, forse la Vanessa che mi piace di più e che quest'anno non si è fatta certo negare con una presenza che almeno in Italia supera le centinaia di milioni, la composizione semplicemente straordinaria per l'inclinazione scelta, eccellente la definizione, bellissimi e luminosi i colori.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona serata
Maurizio

Hello Anne
tres beau pkoto sur cette splendide Vanessa cardui, souvent pas facile à photagraphier. La messe à feu excellente valorise la photo en mettant excellentement en relief le petit papillon avec ses couleurs et détails sur les fleurs de le nectar desquelles se nourrit. Intéressant même le jeu de lumières et d'ombres.
