Last Friday, I saw this butterfly. It wasn't immediately obvious what it was, I was hoping it was a white admiral, and it looked like one from a distance:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f7.1, 1/125s
Its markings looked similar to those of the white admiral, but it turned out to be the summer form of a map (Araschnia levana), landkaartje in Dutch.
This species of butterfly has two annual broods that look very different. The spring edition looks like this:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 300mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/160s
These two versions look completely different, yet they are the same species. Strange but true.
Thanks for watching!
