This butterfly is fairly common in most of southern Europe with the exception of Spain. It favors open woodlands, forest edges and flies from May to July in levels up to 1500 m. Its wingspan is about 5 cm.
When I was young, I found this flower fascinating. Today, a few decades later, it is still one of my favourites.
I see it as an unquestionable proof that Nature’s creativity is unsurpassable!
