Brimstone, but no fire

in photography •  7 years ago 

On sunny days, the butterflies still come out, like this one did a few days ago:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/800s

It is a brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni), citroenvlinder in Dutch.

Here are some more photos of this species; the males are Very Yellow, the females are both greener and paler.

Every time you post a photo of these butterflies, all I can think of is cabbage:

You think of food a lot, don't you?

Thankfully, not sugary this time :D

Great work fellow photographer! Most beautiful. My wife is most fond of butterflies; we often search and identify them when we are in the nature. Haven't had a chance to take photographs of them yet though :)

I like how those wings look like leaves. Nice captures!

Great series! Am amazed by how these little creatures wings look so much like leaves! Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure.

The beautiful

Always enjoy the butterfly shots. We don't have that many around here. (none at all at the moment of course as it's winter)
