The photo above was taken when I was in Sicily in 2018 while the image below is a Skipper I captured this morning while out with the doggies here in Cyprus. The rest is a mix from near and far…
I found this Swallowtails among the flowers in our garden the other day. My favorite among butterflies.
Below is a photo of mating butterflies that I took in Malta in 2019.
A very special moment for me and I guess, also for the butterflies.
The photos below were all taken here in Cyprus this spring. I’m not very good at identifying species but I think I know at least three which you can see if you click on an images, correct me if I’m wrong.
I found the butterfly below among my photos from Borneo 2017.
I had forgotten about it so it was a nice surprise.
Ending where I started, in Sicily, where the butterfly seems to take a deep dive to drink from the flower’s sweet nectar.
Positive thinking!
It doesn’t take much to feel joy in our everyday life.
They are all beautiful
Thank you kindly for your comment Alice.
Du har så många fina fjärilar.
Kramar från oss
Tack snälla!
Gorgeous photos of these butterflies. Very colorful and clear to see up close. 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind comment.
You’re welcome! It was a pleasure to see them. 🙂
Lovely set Anita! I think the white is a Wood White.
Thank you so much for your comment Brian. Hope you had/are having a great time in Corfu!
Wow! Jag tycker det är så svårt att fota fjärilar, de sticker iväg så fort jag närmar mig. Har du zoomat in dem eller använt macro på nära håll?
Tusen tack för dina rader Anna. Jag använder mitt macro objektiv och försöker komma så nära som möjligt. Man måste ha tålamod, som du säger, fjärilar sticker oftast när man kommer nära.
Fabulous photos Anita. The mating butterflies are Lang’s short-tailed blues (leptotes pirithous) I think.
Thank you for your kind comment Mike and I’m sure your are right regarding the mating butterflies.
Thank you for adding joy to my day! 🙂❤️❤️❤️🦋
Thank you for giving Me joy with your lovely comment ❣️
I am sending a WOW back Anita 🦋👍 These are so good and from so many places around the world…..(insert butterfly envy here) from the first photo sigh to the last wishing for more. I cannot help with ID.
I didn’t include any mating photos this time as I didn’t want a photo overload, which I can be guilty of at times 😁
Thanks a lot for your very kind comment Bushboy”,
Bushboy?? 🙃
When it comes to photo overload, I know, sometimes it’s easy to post too many, and after doing so, usually you’re the only one who manage to look at them all 😂
Most welcome Anita. Yes photo overload must be a medical problem too 😂
Ww, these are fabulous Anita! I love the shots of the swallowtail, the colour of the Paphos Blue and that excellent capture of the pair mating. But those are just a few highlights among many 😀
Thank you very much for your lovely comment Sarah 😀
Vilken underbar serie! Fantastiska makrobilder på dessa otroligt vackra varelser. Variationerna av deras teckningar verkar vara oändliga.🤩 Ha en fin ny vecka!
Tusen tack Krsitallina.
Här har du helt klart överträffat dig själv – igen! Helt fantastiska foton, där kärleksakten mellan fjärilarna står ut lite extra mycket. David Attenborough skulle nog ÄLSKA den samlingen av fjärilar. Så himla bra jobbat Anita:-)
Tack Beate!
Beautiful
Thank You!
Börjar här med att kommentera, tar resten senare.
En sån fantastisk samling av supervackra fjärilsfoton, toppen Anita!
Tack så mycket snälla Du och känn inte att du måste kommentera alla och allt. Ibland kan jag själv känna det som ett stress moment, att inte hinna med fast man så gärna vill.
Nu vet jag ju också att du inte har det så lätt efter din förklaring tidigare.
Önskar dig en fin fortsatt vecka!
Gorgeous photos Anita, I particularly love that horizontal shot of the Swallowtail. Thanks for participating.
Beautiful pictures Anita … looking at them makes Monday a good day 😀.
Fabulous photos!
