  • ienemien replied

    Hallo Yool, leuk dat je me even opzoekt. Je kopje koffie deed wonderen. Jaaaa, deze mooie vlinder is echt zo groen…Ik woon niet ver van de Tropische Vlinder Tuin en kan hier heerlijk mooie vlinders bekijken. Het is altijd weer een verrassing welke soorten er vliegen, ik heb nog meer vlinders in mijn Art. Niets bewerkt, alleen wat contrast, schaduw enz…maar echt puur natuur. (-: Groetjes Ien.

    How absolutely beautiful! I almost never ever see Butterlfies.

  • ienemien replied

    Thank you Angel, yes butterflies are always so wonderful and special for me… I am lucky because in my neighbourhood is a tropical butterfly valley and its not so easy to make a perfect shot, butterfly is flying and moving, so it took some time to have a real good shot.. bye ien

    Nu heb ik een heel dik vlinderboek maar hij staat er niet in. Des al niet te min blijft het een schitterende foto.

  • ienemien replied

    Hou Minne, bedankt voor het zoeken!! Als ik weer eens in de vlindertuin ben, neem ik deze photo mee, zal hem printen…ik hoop op een antwoord vanuit de vlindertuin.wie weet.. Groetjes Ien.

  • Minne

    Minne

    Hallo Ien, ik denk dat ik hem gevonden heb…..de wetenschappelijke naam is :
    Philaethria dido en de Engelse Green Longwing. Na wat verder googelen blijkt het beestje ook een Nederlandse naam te hebben… Bamboepage. Kijk hier maar eens.
    Groet, Minne.

  • ienemien replied

    WoW Minne… SUPER!!!! Bedankt voor deze mooie vlinderkaart… Ik sla deze op!! Te Gek!! Groetjes Ien

    I never ever saw a butterfly this color. Great exposure, color and dof.

  • ienemien replied

    Hi Stephen, thanks for this SUPER comment, yes the color is really so green, the English name is Green Longwing, I made this shot in a Great Butterfly Valley (the greatest in Europe) I am lucky to have it so close to my home. Its difficult to make a good photo, they are alway busy and you have to control the composition too. Warm greatings from Ien.
