September 2016

I spent some time photographing the butterflies in the meadows around Lucie's house in Tuscany during late August and early September. I saw swallowtail, great-banded grayling, common blue, Adonis blue, brown argus, spotted fritillary, heath fritillary, silver-washed fritillary, Weaver's fritillary, large white, wood white, clouded yellow, wall brown, large wall brown, meadow brown, small heath, dingy skipper, large dingy skipper, and silver-spotted skipper. Some photos below.
