I believe you’ve figured out that I love posting collages. Today’s is an ode to an extremely valuable nectar source, Telekia speciosa, a Heart-leaved oxeye. Look at this variety of butterflies! These are not even half of the species I saw that day feeding on the pant. True gold, isn’t it? August 2. Uzana, Gabrovo, Bulgaria.
In a ‘Z’ direction:
- Vanessa cardui / Painted lady
- Aphantopus hyperantus / Ringlet
- Lycaena virgaureae / Scarce copper
- Erebia ligea / Arran brown
