Butt Shot! - _TNY_4502

Sometimes bugs moving means you don't exactly end up with the pose you were hoping for. Here, it kind of worked out anyway, right?

 

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".
