Polygonia c-album.
There were lots of insects about in the sunshine on Sunday, but we are back to cold and rainy today.
See a Peacock wing Here

A dark woody capture, of a very autumnally colored creature. The backlighting sure fills up its wings; and in your capture it looks like it has fungi instead of wings. Strong detail on the body and head, too. Another fascinating detailed insect capture from you. You and helle have given us many from this part of the animal kingdom, and I'm grateful for them all. (As an aside, when you give your flickr links, I often think what it would be like if nature did that: We're looking at a lake, and to the side it says, "for an alternate view---with less BLUE!---click here." I'm working on getting hyperlinks into life. It might take some time, but hey, it's worth it...)
Very pretty!! Great capture!
This new camera of yours is enabling you to take some spectacular images Andrea. This is superb.
It is indeed, but this pic is with the TZ 3!
Great capture..the jagged wings are so well defined here
Perfect backlight. Bravo.
His wings have had a hard life.
Wonderful capture! :)
very impressed .-))
Amazing capture Andrea. God bless.
The light is just perfect for your subject! Lovely. I used to know a guy who, in the process of unreeling a sentence with a qualifier, would spew forth the beginning, and then say, "However, comma," and continue with the rest of it. An odd verbal tic, indeed. That comma was the only part he ever spoke aloud, and he always, always did it. I heard it so often it became a part of my permanent mental landscape. This is a beautiful comma butterfly! However, comma, I would prefer to see one in person.
You have become quite the expert in macro photography, Andrea. Both images are spectacular. And I love your reply to Jayfar. You have validated Sam Haskins comeback to his dinner host.
Very nice Andrea. Despite the rather harsh light you managed a goodun. Well done you!
Cool capture
Excellent shot I love the lighting.
What a beauty! These always seem to be carved out of wood, they have the grain lines and everything. Love it!
"Hey, paisan, comma here and have a glass of wine," as they would say in Italy. And, since I'm so short on time and chatter, I echo Mark/anahata.c's opening paragraph.
Excellent photo.
A very nice look at the European Peacock wing and a magnificent capture of the Comma Butterfly!
Fantastic macro. Great details!
This is superb! I will not go into much more detail because I do not have the literary skills to compete with some of the other comments. (I really think some people are probably famous authors in disguise..cough..anahaha c....cough)
beautiful capture; yes !! they are back
As always... wonderful captures... I'm sure the summer will bring some exciting shots like these to behold.
Amazing in zoom, beautiful!!
beautiful insect, nice capture
