The Living Forest (326) : Brimstone
The Brimstone is a butterfly that lives in Europe, North Africa and Asia as far east as Mongolia.
It’s one of the longest living butterflies, up to 13 months, although most of its time is spent in hibernation (sometimes its long sleep begins already by the end of august).
It’s also often the first butterfly to be seen in spring, sometimes as early as january when hibernating adults of this species are awoken on a sunny day.
Dutch name : Citroenvlinder
German name : Zitronenfalter
Latin name : Gonepteryx rhamni

Top Macro in the best quality. Great, as every tiny scale can be seen on the wings.Great colors and detained in the best light. Only the cut at the left is a little tight.
But that's whining at a high level ;)
