The scarce swallowtail Iphiclides podalirius Otakárek Ovocný

in Fascinating Insects3 years ago (edited)

Tahle fotka není zcela vyjímečně moje, ale je to dobrá zajímavost. Kamarád motýla vyfotil na chodníku na sídlišti a přesně zaznamenal GPS. Tak jsem pozorování zařadil na iNaturatist.
Vzhledem k tomu, že několik set metrů od pozorování jsou pole a louky nad Dalejským údolím, kde je motýlů spousta, tak to není šokující pozorování. Stejně se ale divím, proč si sedl na beton mezi panelákama.

This photo is not exceptionally mine, but it's a good point of interest. A friend of the butterfly took a picture on the sidewalk in the housing estate and recorded the GPS accurately. So I included the observations on iNaturatist.
Given that there are fields and meadows above the Dalejské údolí a few hundred meters from the observation, where there are many butterflies, this is not a shocking observation. But I still wonder why he sat on the concrete between the blocks of flats.

Beautiful butterfly, I like to see them in Summer.

Me too. Preferably eating on a flower.

I guess he must have been taking a breather, or maybe he was in such great contrast with the concrete that he was waiting for a sweet lady butterfly to notice him. :)

looks amazing my friend, the images are very good, I congratulate you.

butterflies live more than three days. There are even those who live for more than six months. they are really beautiful

Wow...
Amazing picture, that was Beautifull butterfly i think. Good shoot Chief.

But I still wonder why he sat on the concrete between the blocks of flats.

That was my first instinct, but amazing, and beautiful 🥰
