Butterfly-Clouded Yellow (COLIAS CROCEA) - Braşov, Ro.

Clouded Yellow-Colias crocea

Family - PIERIDAE

subfamily - COLIADINAE

 

A notable migrant which reaches far into Northern Europe during favourable years. In about 5% of the population the female takes a pale form, f. helice, which can be confused with Berger's clouded yellow, Colias alfacariensis and the Pale clouded yellow, Colias hyale. ( In Romania, certainly, flying to November, during favourable years!!!)
