Appolo or Mountain Appolo .
French Alps 2016 .
Today I thought I would post one of the largest and most beautiful butterflies I have ever seen . I was on a 15 day trip up in the French alps back in 2016 with some friends . We were high up in alps when I said to my friend, it would be amazing to see an Appolo up here . He said I think it’s probably too early , I said it’s been unusually warm early up in the alps this year so you never know . As we climbed up higher towards the village of Isola we rounded a sharp bend and too our utter amazement we saw quite a large number of Appolos nectaring on corn flower . So we hastily found somewhere to safely park and we were rewarded with some amazing macro images . A trip I will never forget.
