Hi Jose,
interesting close-up, well detailed, looking quite exotic.
And the species is exotic, indeed. I suppose it is
Cacyreus marshalli (Butler, 1898)
originating from South Africa, and introduced to Southern Spain and the Baleares in 1990s. They came in with Pelargonium plants, and in Europe they also accept Geranium. (Tolman/Lewis: Field Guide Butterflies of Britain & Europe, 1997).
With thanks for this interesting and new to me presentation, and best regards,
Peter
P.S.: Sorry, already out of credits for today.

Buen documento José Luis. En mi galería tengo tres de esta polilla del geranio que tanto daño está haciendo en toda España.

Hi Jose,
Wonderful close-up of this beautiful butterfly and those details on its under wings look superb. Very impressive sharpness and colours with perfect lighting and DOF. Very nicely composed.
