Butterflies, Moths and Assorted Insects...

Nothing to write home about but then again I was raised in cave

Green Oak Tortrix. Absolutely tiny - this taken at 1.8-2m @500mm on the R5, and is only 400 or 500 pixels long. The top image is a stack of 4.

What species is the first one? On first glance it resembles the Eurasian Limenitis populi but there are significant (and a lot) differences...

I was trying to take a picture of the frog, but I found something more interesting while checking focus afterwards

Poor frog

I saw this guy on my way up the mountain this morning, and he was still flitting about the same spot four hours later on my way down, and he posed for me in a beam of sunlight.

 

[AlanF]

Sawfly (R5/100-500mm).

Very nice shot, Alan. I really like the colour of the insect.

I'm not the fan of the artificial "diversity" but your first shot is showing real diversity: the wasp (?) on the left down corner - my favorite!

I am overjoyed that there are significantly more large butterflies this year. Last year, many pupae must have gone mouldy.
Here is a marbled white.

This one is really good: perfect "model" and very, very nice photo. Last year in Bulgaria all of them were more or less damaged. It was even worst with the second species existing there: Melanargia larissa (and I really wanted a photo of that one )!

Thanks, ISv.
It didn't really fly away, only "hopped" a few blades on.
So I suppose, it could have been freshly hatched.

I've seen very few butterflies here, only 3 in the last week

I did have a camera with me when I spotted this one:
