Mountain clouded yellow - Colias phicomone
![]() |
Family: Pieridae Flight Time: June - August Size: 40 -50mm Altitude: 900-2500m |
| 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! | |
