The Western Marbled White
Melanargia occitanic |
I will be taking a vacation for a few weeks but will leave you with these photos of the Western Marbled White which is 27mm, and it's wing span is 5-5,5cm. Flight period is May to July,and range SW Europe, from Portugal to W Italy. Frequents grassy hillsides and meadows on lower mountain slopes, from 1,000m to 1,500m. I wish you all a happy weekend, and happy snapping. Will catch up with all your blogs on my return.

Very pretty shots!
Miłego wypoczynku, a motyl jest cudowny. Pozdrawiam.
Have a good rest, and a butterfly is wonderful. Yours.
great colors
Lovely patterns and I like how you were able to have a fresh one and then sadly after the birds took a tear. It is so hard for butterflies. Beautiful shots Sonjia. Have a wonderful time away. Carol
really beautiful. ENJOY YOUR VACATION!!! be safe!
What a fantastic butterfly, Sonjia. And you have caught him very well. I wish you a good vacation. Hope to see you later back on the blog. Greetings, Joke
What a beauty. Have a wonderful time.
Wow, you got three different wing poses. That's the best for butterflies. The Skipper I recently shot didn't open its wings, so I may even be wrong with the ID (although I checked well with a Flickr member and said it was okay.) The Skippers are extremely difficult to ID if they don't open their wings. I love the pattern and color of this one!
Very beautyful.

Such a lovely butterfly and so well captured Sonjia - sadly it is several years since I last saw one over here.
What a beauty. Have fun.

Great contrast of the colours on the wings! Marbled White is such a pretty butterfly :-)
The wings of this butterfly as a translucent marble or ... nacre.
Image that contains the whole poetry of the summer garden!
