The Nymphalidae family, also known as brush-footed butterflies, encompasses a stunning array of species that never fail to captivate with their vibrant colors and delicate wings. One such member is the Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta), gracefully perched on a plant, basking in the sun's warm embrace. With its wings spread wide open, this Red Admiral butterfly showcases its intricate patterns and striking hues. In search of nectar, the Red Admiral flutters from flower to flower, like on Common Boneset or Agueweed -Eupatorium-, found in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. Its presence brings life and beauty to the landscape as it dances amidst nature's tapestry. Another enchanting creature within this family is Morpho cypris, a mesmerizing blue morpho butterfly that seems to possess an ethereal glow wherever it goes. A Small pearl-bordered fritillary (Boloria selene) delicately lands on an oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), creating a picturesque scene filled with grace and charm. This same species can be found fluttering around Marsland mouth in Cornwall, UK – a testament to their adaptability across different regions. Feeding on scabious flowers in a hay meadow is the Small Tortoiseshell Butterfly (Aglais urticae). Its vibrant orange wings adorned with black markings make for quite a sight against the backdrop of colorful blossoms. Meanwhile, two Marbled White Butterflies (Melanargia galathea) find solace atop Brownray Knapweed -Centaurea jacea- in North Hesse, Hesse Germany. Their elegant dance through the air adds an element of tranquility and serenity to any observer lucky enough to witness it. Marbled White butterflies are not limited by borders; they can also be spotted gracing landscapes throughout Germany.
