The Parnassius, also known as the Apollo butterfly (Parnassius apollo), is a captivating species found in various regions around the world. In North Tyrol, Austria, we witness the mesmerizing sight of an Apollo butterfly nectaring on a delicate flower. Its vibrant wings, adorned with intricate patterns and shades of white and black, create a stunning contrast against the colorful petals. Moving to Parainen, Finland, we observe a female Apollo butterfly gracefully laying her eggs on a branch. This act showcases the life cycle of these magnificent creatures and their commitment to ensuring future generations thrive. In Nordtirol, Austrian Alps during June, we encounter another breathtaking scene - a male Mountain Apollo butterfly nectaring on a wildflower. The vivid colors of both insect and flora harmonize perfectly amidst the picturesque landscape. As we venture further into Finland in July, we are greeted by yet another Male Mountain Apollo butterfly delicately sipping nectar from a wildflower. These sightings remind us of nature's beauty and its ability to captivate our hearts effortlessly. However enchanting they may be, it is important to note that Apollos are vulnerable creatures that require protection for their survival. Their existence is threatened by various factors such as habitat loss and climate change. Within this species lies diversity; there are different types including Mountain Apollo butterflies (also known as small apollos) and Clouded Apollos. Each possesses unique characteristics that make them special in their own right. A striking image captures an Apollo butterfly female soaring through the air above vast fields—a true embodiment of gracefulness in flight. It serves as a reminder that these creatures possess not only physical beauty but also incredible agility. From Aosta Valley in Gran Paradiso National Park to Mount Terminillo in Rieti Lazio, Italy—Apollo butterflies can be found feeding on knapweed flowers or other blossoms along their journey across diverse landscapes. Their presence adds a touch of elegance to these picturesque locations.
