Nice hairy creature! I never had a chance to notice these before. Is this recent? Posted 13 years ago

  I was just outside testing some different objectives and there came this butterfly to enjoy a bit of sunlight. Click! Five minutes later it was online! Posted 13 years ago

    That's a good speed of sharing :) It seems still early for butterflies, so I think you got a lucky break here :) Posted 13 years ago

      I read on the internet that this type of butterfly flies around from February till October. It lives for about 3 weeks. In this period (Febr - Oct) there will be 2 to 3 generations per year. I think it was a lucky catch (with my camera), because I haven't seen this butterfly very often. Posted 13 years ago, modified 13 years ago
