When I found this butterfly I knew it was something special because it is a European butterfly but I did not realize that it is exceedingly rare in North America and was first found in the Montreal area in 1997. I believe that fewer than two dozen sightings have been recorded in the twenty years hence. The predominant theory is that a female with eggs inadvertently came across the ocean on a ship.
My passion is to express Nature's beauty through photography. I am self-taught and like things simple. Thus, photo manipulation is kept to a minimum.
