Grote weerschijnvlinder

Grote weerschijnvlinder - Purple Emperor - Apatura iris
Male. A very rare species in Holland but increasing in recent years. It's searching for minerals. When the wings of the males are at a certain angle to the sun, the most beautiful purple sheen is displayed, a result of light being refracted from the structures of the wing scales
Kampina - Holland

Nikon Z 6
1/800s f/8.0 at 105.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
