, 0.4 sec f/16.0, ISO 100, tripod. Specie: Cacyreus marshalli

Un grazie particolare all'amico Danilo Bausano. Conosciuta come Licenide dei gerani, è una piccola farfalla originaria dell'Africa meridionale (Sudafrica, Mozambico), che a causa dell'innalzamento della temperatura terrestre, e degli intensi scambi commerciali con i paesi africani, si è oramai spostata verso le latitudini settentrionali, giungendo, sulla penisola italiana, perfino in Piemonte. Questo esemplare è stato fotografato nella città di Alessandria. Non avevo ancora avuto modo di fotografarla, vista davvero molto volte, ma mai fotografata. Le dimensioni sono molto ridotte, parliamo di 4/5mm, almeno per questo esemplare.

I wonder how they will be happy growers geraniums observing this image. :-D:-D:-D
A butterfly a little 'mischievous, almost always dancing on a perch before they bring out its proboscis and begin to suck, soon after, the beating of wings and go. In short, the classic snap hit and run. At least this is my experience with them.
Very good detail the proceeds of a subject which might be just as well if taken vertically.

Quoto in full Pigi47 :-/ the appearance on our terraces always makes us fear!
THE larva is tremendous ...... feeds on the inside of geranium stems, passing unnoticed.

Francesco Bravo to immortalize.
A curiosity, have also arrived in your part?

Fine specimen, very well taken. Maybe a tad exaggerated color saturation (of course personal taste).
