Grass Yellow (Eurema deva) Doubleday – 1847
Spanish name: Limoncito

Order: Papilionoidea
Family: Pieridae
Sub-family: Coliadinae


Wing span: 1 - 1 1/2 inches (2.6 - 3.8 cm).

Habitat: Shady, brushy areas.

This cosmopolitan subfamily is composed by a number of butterflies commonly known like sulfurated or yellow. In fact there are yellows, orange, white and these colors combined among them, some with dark or black gray marking the marginal areas of the wings.

In some species the sexual dimorphism is pronounced with the bottom of the males yellow and the one of the females white.

All the Coliadinae puts eggs singularly and has solitary larvae.

These larvae are generally of pale green color or yellow but some have combinations of green until the yellow and others are polymorphic.

Pupa of most of the Coliadinae has a prominent case where it keeps the wings.

The color of pupas varies from the green one to the pale pink yellow or and resemble new leaves or bellboys of flowers when it is fixed to the plant.

As it is to surprise of this subfamily composed by several migratory species, of the Coliadinae, small the Eurema, they are strong, safe rockets and few are not rejected by the pregivers, the birds in special.

The larvae of this subfamily besides to prefer the leguminous in general also consume the following families of plants: Caesalpinaceae, Fabaceae, Mimosaceae, Simaroubaceae and Zygophyllaceae.

Hi Ricardo,

Beautiful capture and well done on the composition and details. Good to see you posting on a regular basis.

Mike

Hola Ricardo,
has hecho un muy buen primer plano de esta mariposa, típica de nuestra zona y que ahora no abunda tanto por los pesticidas, antes las veíamos pasar en cantidades y las atrapaba en mi niñez.
Los colores y detalles son muy buenos.
Como siempre una completa nota.
Saludos
Hernán

Hello Ricardo,
Great shot. I like the close framing, showing off excellent detail, light and color. Very good POV and BG as well. Excellent notes on this..
Very well done.

Notable nitidez particularmente en area ocular y las antenas que no es habitual que sean tan logradas, un buen documento grafico del pierido
saludos
CARLOS

Excellent shot, Ricardo! Very good exposure and sharpness. I like your tight framing, which usually works well when the butterfly is not sitting on flower but on a somewhat less interesting leaf instead. Well chosen POV. Congratulations,
Mark

Hola Ricardo,
Una foto muy atractiva, fruto de la combinación acertada de una luz cálida y suave paralela a las alas. La textura queda muy bien resaltada. Además el punto de vista es óptimo para mostrar las alas, tan a la altura de la cabeza que se superponen las antenas. El fondo natural, borroso, limpio y a juego con los tonos de la mariposa rematan el retrato. ¡Buen trabajo!

What a lovely and interesting species. It is the first time I see. Colors, exposure, DOF and sharpness are very good. I also appreciate the complementary note... Congratulations Ricardo and thanks for sharing.

Hi Ricardo !
This is a very beautiful butterfly, with a fantastic yellow color. Details and textures on the wongs are very beautiful, as well as the composition and the POV. The butterfly stands out very nicely from the dark green BG. Very well done !
Valérie.

Very nicely captured Ricardo,
The details are nice, clear and sharp.
Good colours, lighting and exposure. DOF is spot on and the POV is good.
Well composed and nicely framed.
Thanks for posting, have a great week

Hi Ricardo,
I love these tones of green. It is a very nice composition, POV, sharpness and lightning. Great macro with this beautiful butterfly! Bravo!

Claudine :)

Hi Ricardo,
Its nice to see you back here too,with shots just as good as ever.
I like the dark green eye on this butterfly.
If the whole butterfly was that colour it would be much better camouflaged.
Great work as usual.
Cheers, Steve

Hi Ricardo,
WOW! that is an excellent macro shot. Vibrant color saturation and ver sharp detail. I think the frame filling composition and framing look great. Very beautiful!
Scott

Good capture Ricardo, but maybe a bit too close for my liking. I would prefer a bit more space around the butterfly.

Great sharpness and exposure. Good OOF background.

Hello Ricardo!
Very yellow, very sharp and detailed. Great macro, everything looks great, especially detailed eye. I like POV and composition. Very interesting note also.

Hello Ricardo,
excellent details, and beautiful rich colours of subtle shades that come out very well in the reduced brightness although the shot apparently was taken in strong sunlight.
Lovely pose, nice to see the sharp shadow of head and antennae on the leaf.
Thank you, and best regards,
Peter

Hello Ricardo

A very beautiful butterfly you share with us. The POV is excellent with very good exposure. Nicely composed with sharp, clear detail. Good work. :-)

Hello Ricardo,
Excellent shot. I've never really noticed before, but the radiating lines of the veins are really clear in this shot and add quite a lot to this picture. Amazing detail, it's possible to imagine expressions on his face. Great colours and I like the tight crop. A lovely shot and interesting note, a great post.
Regards,
Adrian

lovely shot ricardo,
well composed shot, good details, the pov is good and the quality is quite nice, very good job.

Hello Ricardo,
You're absolutely right, what a similarity :-)i like yours than mine, cause of the flash effect. You have natural soft colours and soft bg. pov and framing are great also!
Thank you for this Argentina's lemony;-)

Hello Ricardo, good shot. The details are great and it's a very good close up. Nice frame filling composition too. It's a shame the BG couldn't be dropped out a little more but not always easy. Well done.

I could not believe my eyes...

Hola! Ricardo.

Even though I don't spend much time here as I used too I was very happy to see an old friend returning to TN. It has been too long.. Thank you and do stay a while... :)

The details are very sharp and the the exposure handled very well on the bright yellows. Nice OOF BG and the colorful notes to make this a great post.

Kind regards.

Very nice picture of this tropical Pieridae. In Europe butterflies from this family usually are white ;-D
You're very lucky that you can live in tropical region ;-)

Ricardo, bela captura, com belas cores e excelente nitidez.

Os detalhes são muitos, e as cores são vívidas.

Também gosto do contraste entre o fundo e o assunto principal.

This is a really splendid shot of a beautiful butterfly! The composition is great, colors are brilliant and warm and the details are sharp! The BG is very nicely defocused which makes the subject stand out perfectly! Very good description too! Great job! Congratulations and TFS!
