I mentioned a few days ago that I had gone into the woods looking for butterflies, well this is my first attempt at photographing them!
I have no idea what type of butterfly this is - I am sure that it is probably a very common one and not special in any way! My respect goes to those that produce amazing butterfly images - you have the patience of a saint!! :-)
Still, overall (especially without having the use of a macro lens), I feel reasonably happy with my first forage into this genre! :-)

La Sesia è una farfalla (circa 20 mm di apertura alare) con ali trasparenti e addome a fasce nere e gialle che termina con un ciuffo di peli. La larva, che è polipoda, misura circa 15 mm; essa è bianco-giallognola e con capo bruno.
Synanthedon tipuliformis, known as the currant clearwing, is a moth of the family Sesiidae. It is endemic to the Palearctic ecozone, but is an invasive species in the Nearctic ecozone and the Australasia ecozone.
The wingspan is 17–20 millimetres (0.67–0.79 in). The moth flies from April to July depending on the location.
Notice how the butterfly's proboscis is working - at 1/125 sec exposure it is blurry because of its extremely fast movement!
Nickerl's Fritillary is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family and is found in Central Europe. This example was seen in the Czech Republic. My thanks to Peter Stoeckl for confirming the species.

Inachis io auf einer Dahlie
Dieses Jahr gibt es hier in Berlin fast keine Schmetterlinge. Obwohl im Britzer Garten wirklich viele Blumen blühen war das, neben ein paar Weisslingen, der einzige Schmetterling, den ich gesehen habe.
