Mountain clouded yellow - Colias phicomone
 |
Family: Pieridae
Flight Time: June - August
Size: 40 -50mm

| The picture above was taken above
Eison in the Val d'Herens, Switzerland where they were reasonably
common at higher altitudes. Like most Clouded yellow species they were not
keen to settle for long. I think I got one attempt at a photo per day,
only one came out reasonably well! |
