Effectivement, il n'ouvre pas ses ailes très longtemps. Cette superbe image nous permet d'observer les deux faces de l'aile! V

I've got that camera and I know how difficult it would be to nail this shot, like you did. Well done! V

It's always exciting to get an open wing, Christine! Just think, if it were snowing you wouldn't see this beauty! ;-)

Beautiful image. It is certainly a good year for many butterfly species.
