A Map in Summer Guise

in #photography8 years ago

This butterfly that landed on a linden tree in front of me yesterday is a map (Araschnia levana), landkaartje in Dutch:

These butterflies have two generations a year; the one in the photo above is from the summer generation; a bit early, I think, but there you have it.

Strangely, the spring generation looks totally different:

No wonder people thought for a long time these were two separate species.

Here's a photo from the side, for the curious:

Thanks for watching!

They really do look like separate species @ocrdu. I would have said they were. 😊

Both forms are very pretty though.
