Colias crocea: a common, intense-yellow butterfly that flies all over Greece.
It is observed in 2 or 3 generations from February to November
in almost any open habitat from sea level to 2500m.
It flies rapidly from flower to flower
and while it feeds, it is always on the alert,
never staying on the same flower for more than 4-5 seconds at a time.
While feeding, it always keeps its wings closed.
Wingspan: 45-50 mm
Photographed in Southern Peloponnese
