Lasiommata maera orientalis we've seen these 2 butterflies on the pavement, at the street. at a parking place. one was staying on the ground, the other one was hovering near it, pushing it from time to time, as if trying to convince the first to move from there. but apparently the first one couldn't fly. eventually I took it on my finger, and placed it on a nearby shrub. I don't know what was the problem, and I hope I helped them...  Fall,Geotagged,Israel,Large Wall Brown,Lasiommata maera Click/tap to enlarge

  1. Poor thing! I'm sure moving it helped because you put it in a safer, more comfortable spot than pavement. Posted 4 years ago
