On fine summer and warm early autumn days, this butterfly spends long periods flying restlessly from flower to flower. When feeding it remain extremely alert and rarely settle for more than 3 or 4 seconds at a time.

It is an interesting documentary you give us with this fine picture. I had to smile about the butterfly being restless. In my experience, when I have a camera with me, all butterflies, insects, birds and animals get restless :-))))
Have a great weekend

the butterfly sure picked a picturesque spot for his meal – that purple thistle (or clover? or other forest flower ; )) looks very beautiful! and the shadow of the next "snack stop" can already be seen on the butterfly's wing! great detail in the amazingly green eye and long straw-like proboscis, too! greetings, sabine.
