Here are several species of butterflies which are often seen around the camp.
Polygonia c-album L.
Nymphalis urticae L.
These butterflies are seen less frequently in the Yaroslavl region:
Polygonia vau-album Schiff
Nymphalis polychloros L.
The following three butterflies are from the Fritillaries group from the
Nymphalidae family. At first glance they seem very similar, but if you look
at them carefully, you will see differences in the design of their wings.
Arginnis latonia L.
Arginnis paphia L.
Arginnis laodice
These two pictures show the Machaon Swallowtail (Papilio machaon L.). In Japan these butterflies are called "Ki-Ageho." These butterflies are also found in Europe and in Alaska. They also can be seen around our camp in Russia.
