My favourite butterfly won. Tbf Swallowtail should be the winner, but Peacock is a natural choice as far more people get to see them and in their gardens etc. And long may that continue - never take anything currently deemed common for granted.
Violet Dropwing (Trithemis annulata). The vibrant, irresistible, male!
Picture postcards sent back from our group in Croatia...
Nickerl's Fritillary (Melitaea aurelia) on Bug Orchid (Anacamptis coriophora), Owlfly (Libelloides macaronius), plus stunning scenery in Plitvice National Park.
One of today's many highlights from our ongoing butterfly tour in Romania....Iolas Blue (Iolana iolas). The largest European blue and beautiful it is too!

Crimson Speckled (Utetheisa pulchella).
Saw several today & it is a moth colourful enough to distract me from what was my main quarry, which was Loew's Blue butterflies - more on those later!
One more Crimson Speckled (Utetheisa pulchella) pic from yesterday morning.
Another fantastic day on the @greenwingstours.bsky.social tour of Northern Greece, with some very special butterflies seen, including Lesser Fiery Copper, Map, Yellow-banded Skipper and Blue Argus; hard to choose a favourite given all we've seen. What a wonderful part of the world!
60 butterflies. One favourite. The nation has spoken...
Britain's Favourite Butterfly is the mighty Peacock! 👑🦋
