See also Glossary of Lepidopteran terms
Upperside tawny, in fresh specimens a rich reddish tawny. Fore wing: anterior and apical two-thirds black, the margin of this colour waved and irregular, following a line dividing the cell longitudinally and circling round to near the posterior angle; a short, broad, oblique, white-bar beyond apex of cell, the veins crossing it and a spot in interspaces 3 and 4 black; a transverse indistinct row of small spots and a terminal series of -shaped lunules white. Hind wing: three or four spots just beyond apex of cell, a subterminal row of spots and the termen broadly black, the last with a series of white lunules as on the fore wing. Underside variegated with red, white, pale blue, ochraceous and black; the terminal margins of both wings broadly black with white lunules as on the upperside; in the middle of each lunule a short white streak from the margin; cilia alternately black and white. Fore wing: the cell with transverse bands of red, blue and black; the base and disc below the cell red spotted with black, followed by pale blue, ochraceous and black; the white oblique band as on upperside, beyond it a transverse incomplete row of lanceolate white marks, with three black spots in each, followed by a subterminal ochraceous band paling inwardly. Hind wing: the base and cell pale blue and red, crossed by several broken incomplete black lines, then alternate bands of white and ochraceous, two of each; the outer white band narrow and marked in each interspace with three black spots arranged as a triangle. Antennae, head and thorax dusky brown; abdomen above tawny, beneath white.
Similar to the male in markings, but the tawny groundcolour replaced by pale greenish white, somewhat brownish on the upperside of fore wing, the extent of black on this wing larger. Underside with all the markings paler than in the male the red at the base of the wings replaced by brownish yellow on the fore, white on the hind wing. Antennae, head and thorax dusky brown; abdomen dusky above, white beneath.(Wikipedia)

Hi Siegfried,
This is incredible! Very high quality work, in a league of it's own. The details are literally impeccable, while the blurring technique has fully focused it against the background. Truly impressive shooting.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Siegfried,

Powerful macro capture of the lovely butterfly with wonderful details! I like the perfect sharpness and POV in the capture. the eyes of the butterfly are ery well shown and so are the textures of your subject.

Well done!

Good Morning Siggi,

Wow! I don't think anyone could have got this image sharper, or with better details of the colours and patterns! This is text book quality!
The narrow dof makes the image stand out clearly against the oof b/g.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Witaj Sigi :)

Ogladam te "Twoje" motyle i wszystko mnie zachwyca...ich uroda, barwy i oczywiscie wykonanie, ktore jest wspaniale, perfekcyjne.
Ten dzisiejszy w miniaturce wyglada, jakby byl zrobiony z koronki, ale po powiekszeniu to wspaniale malarstwo.
Wielkie moje gratulacje!!!

Moc serdecznosci.
Barbara
