    I've seen this kind of a butterfly on other blog, and as well as that picture, this one shows great wings too! I haven't seen this species in Poland, I don't know if they live here but you are lucky to have them :) Great shot:)

    Keith. I was surprised to find one resting so took the opportunity!

    Kerri. The wings are very distinctive.

    Joanne. According to the link below you do have this Butterfly in Poland.

    Cheers Linda, it's the first time I've managed to capture this one. Now all I need is a mature male to sit with wings open!
