An urbanised pseudo-butterfly. Very very well seen and imagined.

the last 2-3 weeks I have been using the Z6+TC14E+300PF for butterflies. Here are some photos.

Seems we are having a bumper crop of Swallowtails this year.

Summer is probably a good time to revive this thread.

It is very small, I've already identified the butterfly, the geranium butterfly (Cacyreus marshalli), also known as the African butterfly and the geranium moth, is a species of Lepidoptera belonging to the Lycaenid family. Native to South Africa, it has acclimatized to the Mediterranean region.

This is a more battered version of Bruno’s pristine young one. Clear signs of use. Lots of damage to the wings and scales of own wing ending up all over the body!

Thank you, Jan. It's amazing, the amount of damage they can sustain to their wings.
