SUMMER, BUTTERFLIES AND BEAUTY...

In my photographs it is a butterfly (Vanessa cardui). Or Repeiniсa, which feeds on nectar on lilac flowers. These butterflies are special and beautiful. They are migrants from southern Europe and even North Africa. Some butterflies have covered many thousands of kilometers, and therefore we see them in Russia in the South Urals. Butterflies can fly at a fairly high speed of 25-30 km per hour. This species has a huge range - almost the entire globe. Butterflies don't only live in South America. Butterflies are sensitive to frost and cannot winter with us - in the Urals and Siberia. Why did butterflies appear with us - no one knows? I see them for the first time in the steppe zone, where the climate is not suitable for them. I wonder if they will arrive again next year? But this year we had the good fortune to see them with us, and many more. This is a real invasion

Красивейшие фотографии! Причем, они хороши именно при последовательном просмотре сверху-вниз. Мистика какая-то. :)

Бабочек в мае было так много на кустах сирени - н разу не видел такого нашествия.
Спасибо!
