These photographs of a female Apollo Butterfly Parnassius apollo were
taken at altitude in the Vallée d'Ossau
in the French Pyrénées where she was the only member of
her species visible on a not particularly sunny day. Note the missing scales on
the forewing-margins and that the orange and black markings of the hindwings
may be seen through the semi-translucent forewings. These large, slow-flying
butterflies are restricted to high mountain ranges in Europe and because of
their degree of specialisation they are threatened by anthropogenic climate
change.
