[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Meadow Brown (Maniola jurtina) is a butterfly found in European meadows, where its larvae feed on grasses, such as Sheep's Fescue.

Similar species are Gatekeeper (which prefers to rest with its wings open) and Small Heath (which is smaller).

There is marked sexual dimorphism in this species. Males are less colorful, with smaller eyespots and much reduced orange areas on the upper forewings. They are also much more active and range far about, while females fly less and often may not away from the area where they grew up.

Buna Mariana,
O imagine clara, cu detalii si culori excelente surprinsa dintr-un POV de exceptie. Fundalul verde contrasteaza cu fluturele si il pune bine in evidenta.
Numai bine,
Mircea

Hello Mariana,
Beautiful shot of Maniola jurtina taken with excellent sharpness and presented in a pleasant vertcal composition. I also like the pink color of the flower where the butterfly is posed on. A fine classical picture.
Kind regards
