Butterflies that Surprise

Macro photography are challenging and exciting. This butterfly was hidden behind tall grass a windy day in Ta Qali Park and rarely stopped for more than a few seconds. I suppose this is a Wood White (Leptidea sinapis).I didn’t notice that it actually were two butterflies until I came home and downloaded the images to my computer. A happy surprise that often happens when shooting with macro. If these really are Wood White, I can always ask Brian. He knows a lot about different butterfly species and his blog is well worth visiting.

  11. Hur underbar, Anita! Våren i mitten av det är härlig dans! Vi hade en ENORM fjäril på vår tillbaka veranda förra veckan. Jag vred ut! Det var så stort jag trodde det var en liten fågel! Och naturligtvis är gräset fyllt med små, söta fjärilar som det här kärleksfulla doveparet du fångat! Jippie! Tack och skål! 🤗🌸☀️!

      1. Hej Anita! Jag sitter här och ler, för jag kan inte komma ihåg vad jag skrev till dig! 😄 Men jag har en idé !!! Jag kan gå på stranden igen nästa torsdag! Vad händer om vi lånar ditt vackra hav igen men i utbyte skickar du några av våra butterflies i några dagar? 😄🌸🤣 Jag har en känsla Du är omgiven av galna vackra fjärilar. Jag berättade för min pojkvän att även maneterna på Malta är så färgglada! Våra är väldigt dämpade … nästan tydliga. 💖!

            1. Huge huges back and I’m sorry for Your butterfly chrysalises even though I have no idea what a butterfly chrysalises is because I could’t translate it even via Tyda.se.
              Now there is a technician here at home and I will be without a computer for a few days.
