What a beautiful creatures we will be looking for in Valencia!!🦋🦅

Scarce AND Titania's Fritillary both seen well today on the first full day of our Butterflies of the Italian Alps & French Mercantour tour, led by Paul Selby & Emmanuelle Juan. Fair to say that the week is off to a flying start!

How better to start the weekend than with a member of the swallowtail family (Papilionidae), a lovely Clouded Apollo found by Paul Selby and our Butterflies of the Italian Alps & French Mercantour group... #butterflies youtu.be/TyFZQrXCWBk

Star of the show on Day 5 of the Mariposa Nature Tours holiday to the Italian Alps & French Mercantour was Southern Swallowtail. There were 10+ individuals, some of which kindly stopped for nectar and photos! 🦋

I know, yes, it's obscured slightly by some grass. But this is Alpine Grayling, one of the hardest butterflies in Europe to see & photo. Seen today on Day 6 of the Mariposa Nature Tours holiday to the Italian Alps & French Mercantour. A new species for me and our guests delighted! 🦋
