Eh caro Luciano io come esco so circondato di fresche giovincelle, mica vado a tardone come te:)
Anche questa ragazzetta non ha resistito al fascino del vecchio farfallone dai meravigliosi occhi blu ed ha aperto le ali per me:)
Leptotes pirithous, farfalla della famiglia Lycaenidae.
La superficie dorsale delle ali è di colore blu violaceo nei maschi, bruno grigiastro con macchie violacee nella femmina. La superficie ventrale è in entrambi i sessi di colore biancastro, con macchie brune disposte secondo un disegno geometrico complesso. Le ali posteriori, che hanno una esile coda in corrispondenza della seconda nervatura cubitale, presentano due caratteristiche macchie nere contornate di verde e di arancio.

Può essere confusa con le seguenti specie: Lampides boeticus e Cacyreus marshalli.

È presente in Africa del Nord, Europa meridionale e Asia minore.
In Italia è abbastanza comune in tutte le regioni, isole comprese.

Tra le specie vegetali preferite dalle larve ci sono diverse specie di Fabaceae (Melilotus officinalis, Melilotus alba), Lythraceae (Lythrum salicaria), Polygonaceaee (Polygonum aviculare), Plumbaginaceae (Plumbago spp.), Ericaceae (Calluna vulgaris).

At times, this one very much so, I can tell a Nikon camera. There is a signature marking in the way it does close-ins and I cannot define it...but know it..

Very nicely done with a pallet of colour and fine notes...Have a Blessed Sunday Silvio!

Hi Silvio.
It is true autumn butterfly. Its costume is not the newest :). I like very impressive back POV and fine scene at whole. Lights and shadows are looked very nicely. DOF is great and all butterfly is in focus. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.

Ah ah .. ti ho pizzicato.. Sei anche quì !!
Bellissimo farfallone dai magnifici colori.
Non capisco le dimensioni.
Ottima foto comunque
Ciao

Hola Silvio, buen macro, aunque la veo muy contrastada y saturada, con la consecuente perdida de detalles. Un saludo

Hello Silvio,

There is a fine strong light in your photo. The Butterfly is shown with good sharpnes and it's heary body can be well observed. Flower beneath looks very well beeing shown sharply and with natural looking colors.

Thank you for sharing,

Grazie della dedica!! Mai vista una del genere,sei stato bravo a catturare i riflessi azzurri anche se non proprio alla perfezione,forse e' un pochino sovraesposta...se invece fotografi le tardone rincoglionite come faccio non hai di questi problemi,hai tutto il tempo per immortalarle alla perfezione...eeheheh..comunque anche la tua non mi sembra proprio di primo pelo! Complimenti e buona settimana,mi sa che domani inizia il maltempo e addio foto!Comunque nonstante il ritardo e' stata la stagione piu' ricca di varieta' nuove.Luciano.

Hello Silvio

Very good detail and texture on this small butterfly.
The open wing pose shows it's markings and colours well.
Good POV.
The colours appear natural.
Well composed in the frame.

Impresionante gama de colores y bello conjunto. Creo que el encuadre es algo cerrado y ganaría con más "aire" a su alrededor.

HI Silvio,

A beautiful close-up of this nicely colored butterfly. I love the pose on the interesting looking plant. The play of shadows and light is marvelous. Another fine composition.

Ciao Silvio,
Wonderful capture of this beauty showing the upper wings colours and pattern with nice details, sharpness and composition.
TFS and have a nice new week.
Cheers,

Bayram

Hello Silvio,

I do like this pov where you can see the distinctive colours and patterns, and the division, of the wings.
The off-centre composition, with a nicely blurred b/g is excellent.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Riflessi di strass per questa sprovveduta che non ha resistito al tuo fascino leggendario. Dammi un po' una mano per l'id della mia odierna.
