  3. 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:)

  9. 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!
