Description

The Map (Araschnia levana) is a butterfly of the Nymphalidae family. It is common throughout the lowlands of central and eastern Europe, and is expanding its range in western Europe. The Map is unusual in that its two annual broods look very different. The summer brood are black with white markings, looking like a miniature version of the White Admiral and lacking most of the orange of the pictured spring brood. Thank you very much for your comments+ favs on my previous upload :

A very catching title. It IS a beauty and if you let your mind wander (as I do) the white dandelion seed globe behind/above it could be the sun or even the moon. Very well done!
