Speckled Wood Butterfly
The Speckled Wood is a butterfly found in and on the borders of woodland throughout much of Europe from march till october, with usually 3 broods per year.
This species visits rarely flowers but feeds mainly on honey dew on the upper surface of oak, ash or hazel leaves.
It was difficult to shoot this butterfly because it was very windy that day, but I got him !

superbe ce tircis, je remarque que ce papillon se pose toujours sur des feuilles, je ne l'ai jamais vu sur une fleur, je ne sais pas pourquoi ?amicalement
