Thanks, Marta, I agree with you, it was very good year for butterflies, I have spotted a lot of them, even now they are everywhere, we still have summer temperature and nature is now awake :)

Pretty, Jopy! This weekend I saw one of these just fighting against the wind..it has been an unusually good year to spot butterflies, even so late in the season :-)

Thanks, Adarsha :)

@Daniele, I couldn't do it either, last week I make a few spottings of this butterfly but with damaged wings, they look too sad to upload the photos... :(

I saw what I think will be my last one for these this year, last week... but it was just half a forewing on the footpath... Didn't have the heart to create a spotting :-(
Jopy
Thank you, Tiz and Daniele! I found this one in front of my school, here is still warm weather and there is a lot of butterflies :)
