PIERIS BRASSICAE or more probably PIERIS RAPAE

Large White
Grosser Kohlweissling
Piéride du chou

Wingspan: 50-65mm
Flighttime: March to end of October (2-3 generations)
Distribution: Europe, N'Africa, Asia until Himalaya
Habitat: Meadows, parkland, agricultural areas

The female lays its eggs on plants of the cabbage family. This butterfly is often looked at as a pest, the caterpillars feeding often on food crops.
Im my region the Large White is not so common as the Small White (Pieris rapae).
The butterfly is posed on a White Aster.

Wonderful capture!
Horia

Ciao Anne, splendid butterfly on a wonderful flower, great contrast against dark BG, fine details and excellent sharpness, beautiful natural colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Ciao Anne,
bellissima Pieris in una meravigliosa composizione, secondo me si tratta di P. rapae in quanto il nero apicale in P. brassicae arriva a coprire interamente la nervatura fino alla corrispondenza della macchia (comunque rimane a te il giudizio complessivo in considerazione delle dimensioni o di altre immagini con prospettive diverse); eccellente definizione e bellissimi colori con un ottimo contrasto sullo sfondo scuro.
Grazie e complimenti
Buona serata
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Hallo Anne,
MAGNIFIC !!! Einfach ein super schönes Bild. Details und Farben sind hervorangend. Ist es noch so warm bei euch, dass die Schmmeterlinge so frei fliegen können ?
Hier ist es schon kühl.
Eine schöne Woche,
Adrian

Hallo Anne.
Dein Bild zeigt dieses Großer Kohlweißling in beeindruckender Weise, mit großartiger Tiefenschärfe und Kontrast, grüne Augen, ausgestreckte Rüssel und wunderbare Blume.
Liebe Grüße Siggi

Ciao Anne. Contrasto eccellente così come il dettaglio e la DOF. Una gradevole compo con intrigante BW.

ps. Meno male che oggi non ho postato il WS....

Hallo Anne,
wunderbare Schärfe des Falters auf dieser schönen Blume. Ein tolles Makro.
Liebe Grüße

Hallo Anne,
ich habe es heute schon bei einem anderen Pieris- Bild gesagt (Lorenzo, cobra112) : gut, dass Ihr nicht den starken Kontrast aufgehoben habt in PS, und dass Ihr dem Weiss viel Respekt zollt. Der leicht grünliche Hintergrund ist sehr wirksam. Die Schärfe ist auch nicht von schlechten Eltern, mit nur f/8 eigentlich erstaunlich. Ich glaube ich muss selber über die Bücher ...
Herzlich grüsst
Dieter

A beautiful photo, Anne!
All your photos are always full of emotion and that's really hard to capture in wildlife photos (and is something I really struggle to achieve!).
Excellent detail.
Superb contrast and lighting.

Well done!!

Joe

Hi Anne

That's a great shot of the big white. The whites are perefctly exposed, always a difficult thing to get correct.
A perfect cokmposition on this big white daisy too. Amazing DOF has captured every fine detail of flower and butterfly. One of your best shots IMO.

Chris

bonjour Anne
superb papillon blanc sur une superbe fleur blanche
les détails du piéride sont aussi magnifiques que sur l'aster
le fond foncé les met si bien en valeur
Passe une bonne nuit
