A lovely species to observe each year and I am fortunate that I can go to a location nearby to observe and photograph the Marbled White.
This image below of the mating pair clearly shows the female that varies from the male, in that the underside markings are lighter brown rather than the much darker of the male.
Nope, no idea where they are around here!

Delete¡Se nota que has disfrutado con el encuentro!. Preciosas fotos, Roy. Por estas latitudes, el nombre común de la Melanargia galathea es "medioluto norteña" ¡mucho más bonita la traducción de "mármol blanco" en inglés!. Un abrazo desde Asturias.
ReplyDeleteGracias Belen. No no es un gran traducción.
