I hope you like it:)
Cheers and Have a Great Day,
Chris

Colias croceus (Geoffroy, 1785)

Description: Wingspan 52-62mm. In the male the uppersides are bright orange-yellow with a broad black border to both wings. There is a bright orange spot on the hindwings and a black spot in the forewing. The underside of the forewings are pale yellow with small black spots. The hindwing undersides are green with a central silver spot outlined in red. The antennae are reddish. Females, which come in two forms, are larger and paler than males and the black borders contain yellow or creamy white spots. The normal female form has a pale yellow ground colour. In the form helice the ground colour is creamy white. Approximately 5-15% of females are of this form.

Similar Species: The only other yellow-winged butterfly in N. Ireland is the Brimstone, but it is a larger species with a distinctive wingshape and has no black markings. Confusion may arise with the pale helice form of the female Clouded Yellow which may lead to claims of Pale Clouded Yellow Colias hyale (Linnaeus). This is another migrant which has been seen very rarely in southern Ireland. It differs from the Clouded Yellow in having only a narrow black border to the hindwing.

World Distribution: North Africa, southern Europe, Asia Minor, Arabia east to Iran. Migrants can reach as far north as 62°N.

Hello Chris,

Congratulations for this very nice picture! The quality of it is not that bad at all! Nice pov, bg and composition. I also did a workshop on it to accentuate the sharpness. I hope you'll like it :-)

Hi Chris

Hi Chris,

Nice shot of the beautiful Pieridae!
It's really a Colias crocea (Geoffroy, 1785).
Known as "Clouded yellow" in english.
a bit soft on focus on the wings, but still a nice shot!
Beautiful on colours!
Good POV!
TFS!
