ARGYNNIS AGLAJA (Linnaeus, 1758)

Dark Green Fritillary
Grosser Perlmutterfalter

Family: Nymphalidae
Subfamily: Heliconiinae
Wingspan: 50-55mm
Distribution: All over Europe and even North of Marocco, Asia
Habitat: Mostly close to woods

I could clearly see that it was A. aglaja, because on the underwings the typical reddish spots of A. adippe were lacking. Unfortunately on this picture it is difficult to see and I don't have another good picture of the underside.

Yet another simple but very beautiful composition with just the butterfly and the flower, Anne.
The view of the upper wing is sharp as a razor.
We laso get a fairly good impression of the nether wing too.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Ram, lovely butterfly and beautiful flower with great colors, fine details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Excelente ángulo de disparo Anne, incluso con ese ala que se interpone jeje. Buen enfoque. Dificultad supongo en la realización, por la corta distancia a que estabas del motivo y por la fuerte iluminación. Muy bien resuelta la situación !!

Hello Anne,
An excellent macro of A. aglaja from a pleasing side POV that just shows the underside of the hindwing in this half-open wing pose. The sharpness is superb and the DOF allows and excellent neutral BG.
TFS this beauty,
Regards,
Ivan

Gorgeous and done in your particular style..in some ways you and Ulla do simialr...but there is a difference in the final presentation. Certainly both of you are very apt images and have the eyes for close details...very nice!

Liebe Anne,
ein perfektes Bild von aglaja in Komposition mit der ebenso brilliant dargestellten Blüte.
Hier stimmt alles! ... auch das auf den hellen Blütenblättern schwer auszubalancierende Licht.
Man sieht genug von der Unterseite, um die typischen aglaja-merkmale zu erkennen.
Einen schönen Tag noch, Peter
P.S. Eigentlich wollte ich in der letzten Woche ins Wallis starten - habe ein paar Tage Urlaub. Aber die Wetteraussichten waren zu schlecht!

Hola Anne, Muy bonita composición, una toma con acertada exposición, nitida y excelente detalle. Un saludo

Ciao Anne,
splendida cttura di questa farfalla, eccellente composizione verticale, straordinarie la nitidezza e la definizione dei dettagli, l'angolazione di ripresa ha ridotto al minimo i problemio di sfocatura, molto belli e contrastati i colori e ottimo BG.
TFS.
