The Pyronia tithonus,
English: Gatekeeper
French: l'Amaryllis
German: Rostbraunes Ochsenauge
Dutch: Oranje Zandoogje

This is the male. The female is shown here.
Later I will show you also the Pararge aegeria, in Dutch "Bont zandoogje" and the Maniola jurtina, in Dutch "Bruin zandoogje". They are all family of the Satyridae.

A widespread species employing a large variety of habitats. The male differs by having a strong sex brand across the forewing. There are a number of similar species in Europe, but it is easy to tell the difference the majority of the time.

Much more butterflies in my personal collection!

Another grand capture, Hendrik. I love the colours and crisp focus. And your composition works exceptionally well. I love the the delicacy of the Queen Anee's Lace flower behind the richer tones of your butterfly.

Hi Hendrik

You have done a super job here. Very nicely composed, good POV and the depth of colour is spot on. Well done! :-)
