This photo was taken in the Braakman nature reserve in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen in May 2024.
Walking and looking around for possible photo models, I saw this beautiful little creature.
A Haybird (Coenonympha pamphilus), this is a rather small butterfly.
This one is here in a green meadow and gives a dreamy mood picture.
A pleasure to watch. Between the closed wings is a blade of grass, and another insect can be seen on the yellow flower below. This one is blurred in the picture, but then you can guess what it is.
The main character is the Haybird.
(If you'd like to know what the other little insect is ask but I'll tell you)
