Green Hairstreak butterfly

in #photography8 years ago (edited)

There was a few firsts on our yesterday's walk near the beach. A first time white flower that bloomed on the dunes that I showed yesterday, and this green butterfly that I saw further away from the beach in a spot among the trees were we usually park the car (and I take millions of flower photos).

Never saw such green one before! Of course I had to google it as soon as I got back home and everything the say is true.

Green hairstreak butterflies don't like to show off the inside of their winds. It is supposed to be brown, but I didn't see it. They can be seen mostly in March (duhh) all over Europe and in Mediterraneans countries they prefer the coastline areas. And that's exactly where I found it.

Your green camouflage doesn't work here...
Silly butterfly :)

I was chasing him for quite a while until he took off and flew away out of my reach. Back to flowers :)

Excellent photography! Butterfly charm! Its color is just gorgeous!
I have not seen this.

Thank you! It was the first time I saw it too.

Super!

Great shots!! Keep up the good work. Love the quality!!

Thanks a lot :)

These are really pretty! We have them in The Netherlands as well, but we usually have to wait until April. And no, I have never managed to get a photo with its wings open, they are notorious for that.

Spring comes a lot earlier here. Got some other ones too for next time. Need to ID them first though.
This is what I read too. I guess they are just very shy :p
