Once again, great macro. Those butterflies look great with their dark veins, we don't have that kind here.

Thanks a lot.


I have made some research, and it seem that this butterfly is an endangered species.

But it still relatively present in areas above 800 meters of altitude, which is where I live.

It's called Aporia crataegi, Gazé or Piéride de l'aubépine in french and Baum-Weißling in german. ^^

Interesting to know, 800 meters would seem like a huge mountain range from where I live . But butterflies are getting rare and endangered all over here, too, pictures like yours remind one of this.
