The perfect structure of the wings is best seen when the wings are closed – this Vanessa cardui, known as ”the painted lady”, displays a wonder of delicate structure. It is not very common in Sweden, but some three-four years ago we had about 20 of them in our buddleyas. This year, I have only seen two of them – but two wonders!

I am lucky to have them always! Glad she came to say hello.
I am glad too – and now, surrounded by all the grey…I love to remember.
Gorgeous shot! Are you using a macro lens?
Thank you – I wish I had one..
me too!
Perfect structure… nature is often the best 🙂
So true – she is the best!
Gorgeous photos! Love your interpretation of the theme! 😊
Thank you very much, Tiff!

Superb shot, Leya. You mastered structure.
Thank you so much, Lucile. Butterflies are one of the world’s masterpieces.
Tistelfjärilen är fantastik med sina mönster. Har aldrig sett den tidigare.
Den är inte vanlig här precis, men vissa år kommer de inom!
Ser lite ut som min fjäril 😉 Visst är de vackra!
Det är en likadan! De är inte så ovanliga hos er tror jag!
Nej, det är den vanligaste bland blommorna ute på vår terrass.
Beautiful photo indeed! Good selection!
Thank you very much!
