Better Than Blueberries - _TNY_4982

This upside-down beauty is a female brimstone butterfly (Gonepteryx rhamni).

 

The red flower he is drinking from using that long proboscis is a bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus). Bilberry is also known as the European blueberry and that red flower will eventually turn into a what is probably the forest's tastiest berry - significantly better tasting than te American blueberry actually.
