The brimstone butterfly (Gonepteryx rhamni) is one of the more common butterflies in Sweden and since they both appear early in spring and fly all the way until autumn, a lot of people miss how incredibly beutiful they actually are.

This one shared a flower on the heart-leaf oxeye (Telekia speciosa) with a tree bumblebee (Bombus hypnorum) and neither had any problems with the other.
