Description Nymphalis antiopa
This one kept flying around the cottage where we stayed and spent whole afternoon enjoying the sun on the place where I captured her.

Mm, lovely tones between the grass and the "petticoat" of the butterfly. Prettyful.

Gorgeous shot! I have only seen one of those once in my whole life, I think.
I really appreciate the fact that you gave the scientific nomenclature!!

I actually hope I gave the right Latin name for this species. I haven't seen much of them either. They don't live down here but when one goes to the mountains it's possible to spot them.
Thank you

You don't? Though, it's quite difficult to spot them here, they're quite rare. This was in the national park.

Sadly not
You never know though, with climate change a lot of species are moving their territories further north. We might see them one day.

Myrthilla In reply to SherylLaBouchardiere [2008-02-27 16:43:28 +0000 UTC]

Maybe. But climate change is really an unpleasant thing. Just now... it's the end of February and we already have temperatures almost 20°C when it should be freezing.
