Yesterday my Sunny and me, we met this wonderful butterfly... we did a research...

Colias crocea 

Colias croceus is a small butterfly of the Pieridae family, that is, the Yellows and Whites. In India and nearby regions it is known as the Dark Clouded Yellow or Common Clouded Yellow; elsewhere it is often simply known as the clouded yellow, as it was the first and original butterfly to go by this name.

Description

The upperside is golden to orange yellow with a broad black margin and a black spot near the centre forewing. The underside lacks the black borders and is lighter, with a more greenish tint. In the forewing underside is the same dark spot as on the upperside, but often with a light centre; the hindwing underside has a white centre spot, often with a smaller white or dark dot immediately above it. Sometimes, a row of black dots occurs on the underwings' outer margins, corresponding to where the black border ends on the upperside,

Females differ from the males in having yellow spots along the black borders on the upperside. In a small proportion of females the golden upperside colouration is replaced by a pale cream colour. These have been distinguished as form helice, but it seems to be caused by dryer conditions that produce paler colouration.

Like all Colias species they never open their wings at rest. 

Distribution and ecology

The Common Clouded Yellow's breeding range is North Africa, southern Europe, Middle East Turkey, Europe as a summer migrant, some of them reaching Scandinavia. In Asia, its range extends into central northern Siberia and in southern India; it is not found in Central Asia. In the UK they can be seen on the south coast almost every year in varying numbers, and regularly breed there. 

It has also been recorded in Ireland from the Raven, Co. Wexford.[1]

A truly migratory European butterfly, this species is famous for occasional mass migrations and subsequent breeding, which are often referred to in the United Kingdom as "clouded yellow years". 

Life cycle and larval host plants 

In southern Europe and North Africa they breed continuously throughout the year. Eggs are laid singly on foodplant leaves. The caterpillars grow fast in warm weather. Pupation lasts for two or three weeks and in good years there can be as many as three generations per year, with adults still on the wing at the beginning of November.

Common Clouded Yellows feed on a variety of leguminous plants, namely Faboideae. In the UK wild and cultivated clovers (Trifolium) and Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) are favourites; less frequently, Common Bird's-foot Trefoil Lotus corniculatus is eaten.

This is Sunny! My fist dog. 4th August three months, 6th August one month with me ❀ ♡. 

Raging but sweet, playful and sleepy, extra gluttonous. Don’t call him a peluche, he seems a teddybear with energy of a whirlpool.

Here I am

Why to keep a blog? Very easy... i want to keep a diary but I don’t have memory to remember things of all a long day so web is easier because i can write from my mobile wherever i am and then it’s easier to put inside photoes, images, songs, videos... because life cannot be told only with words if you are a vistual “artist” more than a word artist (I can’t define myself a real Artist... maybe in future I hope. For now, I simply love Art). I was simply  looking for a diary where i could put inside everything, everywhere I was, as soon as inspiration says it. So this is why i came there. Why public? Because my life isn’t secret and isn’t a intresting story to tell... there are only some ispirations that maybe someone will find interesting or usefull. Let’s try. I hope you will enjoy them.

ps. sorry for my English, I’m italian but I’ll try to write in English to exercise. Good sweet life to everyone.

Love animals, love life.
