Today a pair of butterflies from files. It's not a good photo, but I find posture of this pair curious. Has this behaviour a role? It's a mystery to me, like their names! As field is so large, posing together so close each other must follow a powerful pattern. What to you believe/know about it?

* Now these butterflies have a precise name and even genre: they are a pair of Common Blues (Polyommatus icarus, form celina) being the female down.
Such a detailed identification is due to Ivan and Ulla Kruys. Thank you very much!

Have a great weekend!

bonjour josé
pour moi cette photo est acceptable,il est vrai qu'il y a mieux mais il y a aussi pire!
c'est vrai que la posture des papillon est interressante,un peu comme un reflets dans l'eau.
bien vu.

A wonderful moment and you captured is so well, Jose, I like the glittering open wings of him, very nice, thanks

Hola Jose !
I love this picture ! You are absolutely right, the pose of both butterflies is very beautiful here, almost like a reflection in a mirror ! It is a beautiful couple, from the same family as the Common Blue but I canot be more precise with their names, sorry. Anyway, you have captured a great moment and I'm happy you decided to share it with us.
Valerie.

hi jose,
well seen & captured,
nice postures, i do not know mych about this behaviour but i have observed that the tiny butterflies can be found resting very close to each other unlike the other big butterflies,
these days i have a plant which is blooming with very small flowers & i can see two to three blue butterflies resting together,
tfs & regards
pankaj

Como una equilibrista sobre su propia sombra.
Buen momento y estupendos detalles.
Saludos, JL

That is a curious view Jose. It is lovely to see them in a pose that almost looks like a reflection. Wonderful colours

Bonita situación capturada :)
Acerca de la calidad visual de la foto, creo que el BG confunde demasiado en esta ocasión que las mariposas se muestran más pequeñas, me gustaban más tus fotos anteriores.
De todas formas documentalmente es curioso ver esta situación.
Un cordial saludo, buen finde.

Hello Jose,
This looks like Common Blues to me, the male being the one on top. I'd guess he is after her!! They look a bit like tight-rope walkers here! Interesting shot showing this peculiar behaviour. Very nice composition.

I am no judge of insect behaviour, but if I saw this in squirrels, I'd say there was a bit of a territorial battel going on.
I do love the comp, though and having the two together like this is delightful.

Hi Jose.
This is typical scene for these butterflies. I have seen such scenes a lot but could not take good pictures. You have solved this task very well. Very nice POV and impressive shot. May be more blurred BG will be more suitable, but it is easy to say and difficult to do. My heart wishes and TFS.

Hi Jose ,

Hola José,
Excellent capture of a fine moment! This is a pair of Common Blues (Polyommatus icarus, form celina), the female presenting herself from below.
This is sharp and well composed with busy but blurred BG.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hola José M,
Pues no sabemos a que estarían jugando este par de mariposas, pero realmente la pose capturada es bien curiosa.
Escogiste un buen punto de vista para mostrarnos esta escena.
Los detalles y colores de las mariposas son muy buenos, así como la composición escogida.
Como siempre, una iluminación suave y muy favorecedora.
Enhorabuena y gracias por compartir la foto.
Un gran saludo,
JM

What a fine pair, using the same 'bridge' but from two different sides :-)!
The Blues are charming butterflies and the male and female are very distinct in this image.
Four different perspectives on their wings present a rich experience here.
Thanks for sharing this great image from your archives, Jose.
Ram

Hello Jose,
Even if there are shadow zones, I think that this moment captured is priceless and makes this picture just beautiful. I love the pose of those two beauties, POV and composition. Details are good as we can see beautiful texture and those colors are superb. This is a beautiful one! Thanks,
Claudine

Hola Jose.- Una postal muy singular, pero exelente en cuanto a colorido y nitidez. Me agrada mucho su fondo y el gran detalle. saludos Luis 52.

Bonjour Jose Rodriguez,
J'aime beaucoup cette compostion en miroir, où les deux papillons semblent se refléter l'un l'autre. La magie des phéromones nous offre de belles occasions de photos... :-)

Excelente imagen estimado Jose con el oportuno disparo para retratar esta escena ta interesante.
La belleza de ambos ejemplares captados con nitidez y buena iluminación que brindan excelentes detalles y sobre todo colores con un claro ejemplo de dimorfismo sexual.
A pesar del F8 la difusión del fondo es suficiente para lograr un segundo plano adecuado.
Un gran saludo... Ricardo

Buenas Jose, una pareja de mariposas muy bien capatada. Tiene una bonita composición, y no es fácil poderlas ver así juntas en esa pose tan chula. Espero que te sigan gustando las fotos de mariposas, a mí me divierten mucho. Un abrazo.

Hello Jose

A wonderful capture.How lucky to get them posed like this.The way they are positioned you get to see all the colours and differences of sexual dimorphism.Good low POV,nicely done.TFS

Rob

Hello José,
a pretty capture of these couple of blues that is also a valuable and rare document as it is showing both male and female, and both sides of their wings well illuminated in one image. Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Jose,
Nice shot of these blues. Good timing to have two butterflies in the same picture. I like the way they open their wings and show off the blue color. Very well done and tfs.

Hello Jose,
It's a very good idea to capture this moment. It would work better with shallower DOF and more sharpenning but still it's a very nice contribution.
Best greetings,
