[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Polish]
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.
A variable number of smaller eyespots are usually found on the hindwing undersides. These may number up to 12 per individual butterfly, with up to 6 on each wing. The factors that govern polymorphism in this trait are not resolved, although a number of theories have been proposed (Stevens 2005). On the other hand, the evolutionary significance of the upperwing eyespots is more obvious: The more active males have a markedly more cryptic upperside pattern, whereas the females have more often opportunity to present their eyespots in a sudden display of colors and patterns that presumably make neophobic predators hesitate so that the butterfly has better chances of escaping.

Hallo Tadeusz-jeszcze raz,
Troche ostrosc na dole uciekla ale w calosci nie przeszkadza.Dobry kadr motyla na kwiatku.
Pozdrawiam Siegfried

Czesc Tadeusz! Dobre makro, dobra ostrosc, poza tym swietny kontrast, no i najwaqzniejsze, kolory! Klaniam sie!

Hi Tadeusz,

The butterfly has beautiful coloration and your note is very informative. I hope you don't mind me being honest, but the body and part of the forward wing are not in good focus. Perhaps the shutter speed couldn't freeze the motion enough? From the graininess it appears that you tried to sharpen the photo, but I'm not sure if that can be done here. Your photos are normally perfectly sharp, so please don't take this critique as anything but me trying to help.

Best regards,
Werner

to jest dopiero nieufna istota i na wskroś uparta, nie chce rozłożyć skrzydełek...
widzę, że przekadrowałeś to zdjęcie, przypuszczam, że to stąd ta piaskowa struktura,
ładny kadr
"+" za cierpliwość
