Description
This butterfly (Issoria lathonia) was sleeping, so there was no prob to shoot some macros (they're very shy).
Have a nice sunday (here we have new snow *sigh*), thanks for looking and all your encouraging comments and favs! :)

A marvellous macro, Karsten! I wonder how you can tell it was asleep. Snoring maybe?

wow, this is indeed a sleeping beauty, wonderful details in patterns
CavalierLady
Wonderful macro, and I had the same question as Andrea about how you can tell!
karlabu
LOL Andrea and CavalierLady, it's quite simple - no butterfly would allow you to touch him (sometimes they fly on your hand or finger, but this is no "sympathy", they do this to pick up some salt etc. from your skin). Butterflies normally are very shy creatures - except when they're sleeping. ;)
