Bad Aussee, Admiral (Vanessa atalanta)
The leopard lacewing (Cethosia cyane) is a rather striking butterfly with this ventral side and a orange dorsal side with plack and white tips. So why is the species name "cyane" - meaning blue?
Well, it is because the white part at the front of the dorsal side of the wings will soon turn more light blue - this one has just crawled out of its chrysalis and its wings are still drying/hardening.
One of my favourites at the Haga Ocean butterfly house is the gold rim swallowtail (Battus polydamas), also known as the tailless swallowtail and Polydamas swallowtail.
These seemto have a predilection for sitting on the floor where people walk (while looking up at butterflies) and this one was no exception. I put my finger in front of it and it climbed on so I could move it to a twig - which eneded up becoming a nice photo.

Female orange tip on cuckoo flower, one of the first opportunities of the year to photograph butterflies with flowers in our region.
Weiblicher Aurorafalter an Wiesenschaumkraut, in unserer Region eine der ersten Möglichkeiten im Jahr, Schmetterlinge mit Blüten zu fotografieren.
This white butterfly spent the night on the agapanthus blossom. And this is how I found it in the morning, with the water droplets on the flower. It fits in with the rainy time we're having here at the moment.
Dieser weisse Schmetterling hat die Nacht auf der Blüte er Agapanthus verbracht. Und so habe ich ihn am Morgen vorgefunden, mit den Wassertropfen auf der Blume. Es passt zu der regnerischen Zeit, die wir hier gerade verbringen.
