Great Banded Grayling There were a few of these butterflies flying back and forth, but I couldn't get any of them. This is not the best shot, but it is another new species.

  1. Wonderful species intro, an impressive collection you have there in your list! Posted 12 years ago
    1. Thanks, I have more that I still have to identify. They are so beautiful and so diverse. There are many look-alikes in some of the genera. It is a nightmare to identify them and I am never sure which one it is, especially when it comes to the blue ones. Usually the one spot that is important for the identification remains hidden...
