Brimstone Butterfly

Beautiful close-up with nice colours Keith.

Thanks Jaap........you're so kind.

You have a very plant and insects rich garden, who is the gardener, your wife, you, both?

Thank you Isabel............that's probably because it's a bit of a jungle :-)))

My wife is the gardener............I just get called upon to do stuff involving brute force and ignorance...........and to take photos of course..!!

Often the case, LOL !

Great detail, Keith!

Thank you kind sir!

Da hast du wieder ein sehr schönes Model entdeckt lieber Keith,sehr schön hat sich der Zitronenfalter von dir in aller Ruhe ablichten lassen,schön sind die Details am Schmetterling,hast du toll fokussiert und den Falter sehr schön freigestellt mit diesen Bokeh :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you so much Güni..........I'm happy you like this photo. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

A beautiful macro, Keith !

Thanks very much sir!

It blends in with plants so well Keith. What a great camouflage. I'm not sure that I have ever seen one, but with it looking so much like a leaf, I may have missed it!

A super picture and beautifully captured Keith.

They always hang inside down as far as I know.........and as you noted can easily be mistaken for a leaf. This is the first and only one I've seen in my garden for quite some time, so I was please to get this photo.

Glad you like it Rosa...........and thanks for your comments as always.

A butterfly with just a single pattern and color!
Excellent color contrast
Wonderfully taken, Fred!

Thank you so much Judite..........much appreciated.

Even if you did call me Fred :-)))

Excellently captured! It looks more like a leaf than brimstone!

Thanks Eunice..............glad you like it..........and yes, it's cleverly camouflaged as a leaf, especially as it nearly always hangs upside down.

A perfectly caught macro! Great mimicry, the butterfly looks like a leaf:-)

Glad you like this one Gudrun..........thank you so much!

Ein sehr schönes Makro! Man erkennt sehr gut den Saugrüssel.
