Encontrei essa bela borboleta repousando sobre uma folha que acredito ser de uma bromélia. Estava muito tranquila permitindo assim grande aproximação e com isso favorecendo a utilização da técnica de empilhamento de foco em campo. Algumas fotos finais foram perdidas pois a borboleta resolveu voar e partiu.
Empilhamento de foco feito com 52 fotografias usando luz mista (natural+flash) combinadas posteriormente com o programa Combine ZP.
A freshly-emerged Map (Araschnia levana f. prosa), a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae, which is common throughout the lowlands of central and eastern Europe. It is expanding its range in western Europe.
In the UK this species is a very rare vagrant, but there have also been several unsuccessful – and now illegal – attempts at introducing this species over the past 100 years or so: in the Wye Valley in 1912; the Wyre Forest in the 1920s; South Devon 1942; Worcester 1960s; Cheshire 1970s; and South Midlands 1990s. All these introductions failed. Under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 it is now illegal to release a non-native species into the wild.
The Map is unusual in that its two annual broods look very different. The upper wings of the summer brood are black with white markings (form prosa), looking like a miniature version of the White Admiral (Limenitis camilla) and lacking most of the orange of the spring brood.

Danaus plexippus nigrippus
(Monarch butterfly / Mariposa Monarca)
The Monarch is the most famous migrant in the butterfly world.
The Monarch has established 5 non-migratory subspecies in the neotropical region - "portoricensis" in Puerto Rico; "leucogyne" on the Virgin Islands; "megalippe" in Cuba, the Bahamas and the Caymans; "tobagi" on Tobago, and "nigrippus" in the Andes.
The Andean subspecies nigrippus differs from the migratory subspecies plexippus in several ways. In nigrippus the ground colour is a darker and duller brown; the upper half of the fw cell is black; the diagonal band of sub-apical spots are white instead of pale brown; and the black lines along the veins are heavier. The forewing shape in nigrippus also tends to be less elongated.
Danaus plexippus nigrippus is found on both sides of the Andes from Colombia to central Peru.

The Nymphalidae are the largest family of butterflies, with over 6,000 species spread across most of the world. They belong to the superfamily Papilionoidea and are usually medium to large butterflies. Most species have a reduced pair of front legs and many keep their colorful wings flat when resting. They are also called brush-footed butterflies or four-legged butterflies, as they are known to stand on only four legs while the other two are coiled; in some species, these forelimbs have a brush-like set of hairs, which gives this family its other common name. Many species are brightly colored and include popular species such as the emperors, monarch butterflies, admirals, tortoises, and nacres. The underwings, on the other hand, are often dull and in some species look remarkably like dead leaves, or are much paler, creating a cryptic effect that helps the butterflies blend in with their surroundings.
