More Butterfly Pics Needed

Hindpool · #31 (**permalink**) 05-10-2006, 05:40 PM

I'm a newcomer but, encouraged by the guarded permission to post pix of "foreigners", I am attaching a rather poor shot of a yellow butterfly snapped in the gardens at Versailles, France late in September. My initial view was that it was a Brimstone but that now seems wrong. Any help with ID will be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation!

Either Pale Clouded Yellow or Berger's Clouded Yellow. It is not easy to tell them apart. I will leave that for someone else to take a shot at it.

Thanks DL. This shot was also posted elsewhere in BWF (it was my first post and I was a bit confused about how and where to post piccies) and Clouded Yellow seems to be the consensus.

I uploaded these two Geranium Bronze photos three days ago but don't see them yet. Is there a problem? Where they received? (They look oooo here because they're compressed)

I've just loaded a few butterfly pics up for ya!

There's pics of the underwings of the Comma showing the white 'c', a Small Copper and a Red Admiral.

The Speckled Wood pic is interesting as I didn't even know that their wings were fluted like that!

Also got a super shot yesterday of Meadow Brown's mating!

Hope they're of some use
