Butterflies: the Peacock

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

We've had some gray and rainy days in my part of The Netherlands, but when the sun came through, the peacocks (Aglais io) came out to play. These are probably the most colourful butterflies we have in The Netherlands:

Some are more blue than others:

A bit of courting going on:


Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO100, f5.6, 1/160s

Its caterpillar is not much of a looker:

And another photo, because I can:

Thanks for watching!!
