Butterflies & Hummingbird Hawk Moth.

Redspider · 6 Apr 2009

Here are a few I have taken in Spain. Not sure what the 'Bee' like hover thing is or the White Butterfly or is it a moth? They were all taken in the afternoon. Both the Blue & the White Butterfly's are very small. Less than an inch with wings spread out. C&C welcome.

Thank you Kerloak & LCPete. TBH I can't remember if it was flying in number 3 or not. I did take some with the Butterflies flying & can't remember if that was one or not.

Buy any brassicas or nasturtiums - then you will see butterflies, eggs, caterpillars and no plants
