Hello,

Here is a picture of a little Inornate ringlet (Coenonympha tullia inornata) from the Nymphalidae famile took at the Bratannia Park...

I should have been at 3 inches of the butterfly after chasing it slowly... Not always easy for my bridhe to obtain such a nice bg but within a field it is more easy... :-)

Hope you'll like it :-)

Michel

Diagnosis:

The Common Ringlet is highly variable in colour and in the number of eye-spots, between and within subspecies and even local populations. The most widespread subspecies, inornata, varies from light buff to orange brown to greyish brown above, with the hindwings and the outer half of the forewings often darker than the basal part of the forewings. Usually there are no upperside markings, just occasionally a single faint ring near the forewing apex. On the underside the basal half of the forewing is the same colour as the upperside and the basal half of the hindwing is dark grey. The outer half of both wings is light grey, and both wings are divided by an irregular pale band. About 60 per cent of specimens have a distinct pale-bordered black spot with a silver pupil near the forewing apex. Other subspecies are characterized below by comparison with subspecies inornata. Wingspan: 27 to 39 mm.

Abundance: This species is common to abundant over most of the range, less so in the northeast.

Flight Season: Most subspecies have one generation per year and fly from late May to early July (late July in the north). Subspecies inornata, in southern Ontario and Quebec, has a partial second generation from mid-August to mid-September.

Habits: The Common Ringlet flies in a wide variety of grassy habitats, including roadsides, woodland edges and clearings, prairies, bogs, and arctic and alpine taiga and tundra.

Hi Michel.
If I will say this is amazing picture, it is means that I have said nothing. Subject is fantastic. Tender plant and beautiful butterfly are looked on so unusual and wonderful BG amazingly. Quality of the shot is outstanding in every aspect. Composition and framing are superb. Sharpness and details of the main subject is great. Lighting is impressive in high range. BG is the separate talk. It is unique and splendid. Bravo, my friend, perfect skill and art work.

Hi Michel
Very good shot of these beautiful butterfly. Great OOF background, good composition. Sharpness is good but I thinkt that you could use little unsharp mask on wings.
Best wishes
Krzysztof
