What a beautiful butterfly - strange I always associate them with the Americas, completely forgetting they're in other countries too LOL.

A super picture of this one laying her eggs - many thanks Tom.

I thought Monarch larvae only ate milkweed, but maybe this is the equivalent plant where you are ...? Good to see this one's laying eggs. Their numbers are down by something like 90% :eek!: - possibly due to the use of RoundUp :C
 
Great colours, detail and setting. A marvellous close-up of this majestic butterfly, my friend !
