Description
Apparently, "sitruunaperhonen" (= lemon butterfly) translates to a brimstone in English. Hence the "bling".

These butterflies actually hibernate all through the winter here and wake up as the sun begins to shine strongly enough to melt the snow all around them. They have sort of alcohol in their system if I'm not entirely mistaken. This means, they're the first butterflies we Finnish people see in spring, often before nights are even above freezing! So the first signs of spring are yellow, both the flowers and the butterflies.
