Butterfly depositing eggs (or just a dreamy photo)

This is a common brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) depositing eggs. We spotted her last saturday in the forest:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/100s

How we know she was depositing eggs, you may wonder? Well, we checked:


Olympus Stylus 1s, 42mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/50s

The male of the species is a much intenser yellow, maybe because he doesn't need to be camouflaged so much:


Olympus XZ-1, 112mm, ISO100, f8, 1/100s

Thanks for watching!
