Butterflies: the Green Hairstreak
On my walk yesterday in a local peatbog called Armenveen I spotted this green hairstreak (Callophrys rubi):
Olympus Stylus 1s, 135mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/640s
These small butterflies aren't extremely rare, but it was the first time I ever saw one, so I'm quite happy it posed long enough for a photo.
Awesome pic:) nice butterfly
Thanks.
I've never eve seen anything close to this color around here. Magnificent!
It's pretty, isn't it? I tried to persuade it that its colour may be a bit beyond what is useful for camouflage, but it didn't listen.
Great picture! Thank you for sharing!
Glad you like it!
