De Distelvlinder is vooral bekend als trekvlinder die in sterk wisselende aantallen passeert, nou dat doen ze hier ,ze zijn er in grote aantallen :-))

The Thistle butterfly (painted lady) is mainly known as a migratory butterfly that passes in widely varying numbers, well they do that here, they are there in large numbers :-))

we saw this blond male a few times in Mara North Conservancy, while he was in the company of a female of a small pride. Initially she refused to mate with him but we heard afterwards that they were seen while mating.
