2019-07-11 Kalvebod Fælled, Danmark Unmistakable in Denmark. This animal is very worn and faded after a long journey from Africa. And it has been an invasion year with thousands if not millions of animals throughout. Definitely the most common butterfly this summer. The most widespread and numerous butterfly in the world. |
