[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The genus Limenitis (LEPIDOPTERA: AGYNNIDAE (NYMPHALIDAE)) is represented by two species in Turkiye:
*** Limenitis (Azuritis) reducta - Akdeniz Hanımeli Kelebeği [TR], Southern White Admiral [EN]
*** Limenitis (Ladoga) camilla - Hanımeli Kelebeği [TR], (Eurasian) White Admiral [EN].

L. reducta is today's post and it ranges in forests of S Europe, Turkiye to the Caucasus and Iran. It prefers 0-1650 m altitude and occurs in warm bushy rocky slopes, sunny places in wooded river valleys, forest roads and clearings etc.
It gives two generations in May to June and July to September.

"Hanımeli" in Turkish vernacular name refers to flowered bushy plant from the family CAPRIFOLACEAE with Ca. 180 species, e.g. Lonicera periclymenum - Avrupa Hanımelisi [TR], European Honeysuckle [EN]. These butterflies' larvae feed on the plants.

Merhaba Ahmet,

A sharp capture of this beautiful butterfly with its wings outstretched in the sunshine. Fine details of colour, pattern and texture.
The slightly diagonal, off-centre composition is nicely done, with a fine dof.

Kind regards,

Hi Ahmet,
one of the most spectacular but elusive macro subjects there are. The black- white and the iridescence are difficult to master and the buggers are nervous. But you did a superb job here, Ahmet, it^s the best Limenitis picture I ever saw. My compliments!
Best regards
Dietrich
