The Little Fox - _TNY_4503

A small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) which has woken up from the winter hibernation and was refueling on the flowers of a sallow (Salix caprea) in Stensjödal, Tyresta National Park.

 

In German, this species is known as the Kleiner Fuchs (or Kleine Fuchs), meaning "small fox".

 

Also cool in this shot - and something I didn't see when taking the photo - is that some sort of fly is photo bombing the shot.
