Sometimes you have no idéa of what you are doing whatsoever. I had these images ans was so proud of them. Last summer I wanted to copy the first one. And did not find it. Several times I looked for them and did not find it. And I was sure they should be on this Butterfly blog. But, no!

Yesterday I was looking for something else, and came across one of the images above.  Now I could locate them and find them. This was so much fun to photograph because it is rare to see three or four of them dancing in the air. And for quite a long time. And to be able to catch it. Now they are where they belong. And I think the top image will be on my exhibition. This was my Christmas present I believe :)

Believe it or not, I found this one on my "tub table" in my bathtub yesterday. And it was a new species for me. It´s a small one could easily fot on my thumbnail. I managed to get it outside without hurting it. :) Follow the links above to learn more about it.

Pärlgräsfjäril - Coenonympha arcania - Pearly Heath

Normally you never see the upper part of the wing. The Pearly Heath always move the wings together when it sits on a plant. I hae been lucky twice and managed to get flying shots of it.
 

Today I noted something I have never seen before. It was windy and if you look carefully on the last image the butterfly has folded both wings to the side avoiding the wind by laying the wings close to the leaf.

This butterfly is damaged on the upper wing so the little dark red area is the lower wing.

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.

We was visiting a park in CostaRica and I had to go to the bathroom. On the floor this beautiful  butterfly stayed. Looking at the image I see it has patches similar to "mother-of -pearl" Catching the light in an iridescent way.

This is a butterfly I captured during my stay in Copal, Costa Rica in jan-feb 2011. Of course I don´t know what species it is. But I thought we all need something beautiful to look at.
