VANESSA CARDUI

Painted Lady
Distelfalter
Vanesse du chardon, Belle-Dame

We have had an exceptional warm and sunny September and October started with good weather too. Unfortunately there was no rain, which brings slowly a dryness and a lack of water in certain regions of the country. Change will come, it is announced for tomarrow..so we will see.
The last butterflies are still flying around, always the same species Colias, Red Admirals, Painted-Ladies, Peacocks and some others.
This Painted Lady was sunbathing on this colorful orange flower in our Botanical garden. We distinctly can see that it has been attacked by a bird, some of its wing-borders have been cut like with scissors.

Hello Anne,
Another wonderful image from your end! I love the colours and the fine details of this beautiful Lady that's been so plentiful here this year but is now gone as the weather has suddenly turned cold and wet. Nearly all flowers have wilted and the trees are turning into yellow-red rapidly.
Many thanks and best regards, Ulla

Hi Anne,

Hello Anne,
a very fine picture well exposed with lovely, natural colours.
The sharpness is really good with lots af fine details.
But I not sure about the flower above, for me it's a bit distraction. Nevertheless is a nice picture.
Well done.

Hallo Anne,
Ich glaube, mein Wissen über Schmetterlinge ... wird wesentlich verbersert durch TN Mitglieder.
Ausgezeichnet dieses Makro.
Ich frage mich, wenn der Winter kommt ... was schlägst du uns vor.
Ein schöner Tag,
Adrian

Bonjour Anne,
Though this Painted Lady is rather worn, you present her nicely on the Dahlia flower with excellent sharpness and colours as she sits to feed with her wings open in an interesting composition that includes the Dahlia post-flowering bud.
Merci et bonne soirée,
Amicalement,
Ivan

Hi Anne. It looks as if this Painted Lady was lucky to still be around after the bird had tried to get it. It looks happy on the brightly coloured flower. Taken with fine detail and natural colours. well done TFS.

Ciao Anne,
c'è ancora un bel giro di Vanesse del cardo, che stanno rientrando dalle loro vacanze al Nord e girano frenetiche di fiore in fiore; in questo caso l'hai "immortalata" su un bellissimo fiore dal colore arancio acceso, ottima nitidezza, bellissima ed accurata la composizione (come sempre). Ho avuto modo di rifotgrafare queste farfalle ed altre sugli astri selvatici, ma al momento riposano in qualche cartella insieme a molte altre immagini.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona notte
Con amicizia
Maurizio
