Wow! You got an Apollo. Great! I still haven't seen one yet. I have to travel southwards because they don't exist here.

Yes, I was on holidays in French Alps.
I also need to travel many kilometers to be able to see this wonderful species!...

Great capture!
Certainly one of the most beautiful species in Europe (that i'm aware of).
I don't think i've ever seen one in real life though.

Thank you!
You are right, this is a wonderful and scarce butterfly and it is always a great moment when we meet it.
However it lives in Switzerland...

I know. I think i'm going to ask our bio-geography professor where (and when) to find the Apollon. He's quite fond of butterflies.

J-Y-M In reply to hepiladron [2008-02-15 20:18:02 +0000 UTC]

The Apollon flies from may to august-september, in one generation. It prefers rocky slopes, especially between 1000 and 2000m. It particularly likes thistles flowers.
Anyway, It is a very localized species.
I'm sure your bio-geography professor will tell tou where and when to find this wonderful butterfly in Switzerland.
