Despite the long spring we had, this butterfly was late. I only saw it now. Maybe because there was lots of cold nights and, lately, rainy days. But now they are flying. I found the female yesterday and the beautiful male today.

A little butterfly I did not have before. A real beauty when it comes th the underpart of it´s wings. I can´t figure out whether it is a male or female. They seem to be rather rare. At least I have not seen it before. There is a third image but I decided to post it on NF photography. If you like you can take a look HERE.

Not many butterflies are flying but at least I got this one. I wonder if the hard winter killed them all? It was too cold when they were supposed to wake up.
