2022-03-26 Kongelunden, Danmark Imago. Han. With the jagged edge to the wings, I guess it's a male. The first butterfly photo of the year! |

2022-07-12 Ronneby-area (Blekinge), Sverige Imago. Different animals. The first photo shows what looks like a normal colored individual, while the rest shows two different animals of the paler summer generation, hutchinsoni, that occur if early offspring has been produced. The size difference the two between is probably sex related. |
