NF Photo 110907 in CU-parken

Det här var en trevlig överraskning då jag trodde de var borta för i år. Men det här är andra generationen, det är därför den ser så fin ut. Men jag tänker inte tala om vad den sitter på.
This was a nice surprise as I thought they were gone for this year. It turned on they were not. This is the second generation. That is why it looks all fresh. But..I am not going to tell you what it is sitting on.

Några fjärilar jag såg i Costa Rica när jag var där i vintras. Den första är nog en sorts Amiral. De andra vet jag inte.
Some butterflies I saw in Costa Rica when I visited the country last winter. The first one might be some kind of Admiral. The others I don´t know. .

Rapsfjäril - Pieris napi - Green-veined White

NF Photo 110715

Vitfjärilarna har visst bråda tider just nu. Jag har sett dem i flockar och parvis. Och de dansar i liften. Gäller båda arterna här. De verkar gilla att samlas i hål på grusvägar. Inte bra när man kommer med bil. :(

The Pieridae butterflies seems to be very busy right now. I have seen them in flocks as well as pairs. And they are danceing in the air. Goes for both the spieces I show here. They seem to like holes in dirt roads where they gather. Not good when you are driving a car.

Ska jag vara ärlig så verkar det ju vara en besvärlig situation. Den där parningen. ;)
To be honest, I think this mating ritual seems rather difficult.
