Striped albatross butterfly

in Nature Observer20 days ago

On a beautiful and peaceful morning, among the lush green leaves, a striped albatross butterfly stood gracefully on a leaf. This striped albatross is a beautiful, medium-sized butterfly that is easy to find but difficult to photograph. It belongs to the Pieridae family. Getting up close to this butterfly is incredibly difficult. Just as I was about to take a step closer, it immediately moved away.

This butterfly's color combination is stunning: pure white adorned with a beautiful, fibrous pattern that follows the black wing veins. The edges of the black lines are also complemented by fine, dense gray dots. This adds a bold and symmetrical impression. At the base of the hind wings, there is a hint of bright yellow. It is truly a beautiful and calming color combination.

Did you know that @stresskiller is also a witness now ?

The subtlety of the color tones is truly beautiful, with the sublime touch of that small contrast with the yellow. Great work on these photos, as always.
Monday hugs!
