The vibrant VG-230, also known as the Swallowtail Butterfly, gracefully perches upon a dew-kissed dewberry plant. Its delicate wings shimmer with iridescent hues that seem to have been painted by an artist's brush. With its intricate anatomy and striking patterns, this single swallowtail steals the spotlight as it indulges in nature's sweet nectar. As if caught mid-flight, its slender proboscis delicately probes into the succulent berries nearby. It seems that even butterflies appreciate a good snack! This close-up encounter reveals the hidden beauty within our wildlife-rich United Kingdom and Europe. The butterfly's presence reminds us of the importance of preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations to enjoy. Paul van Gaalen has masterfully captured this awe-inspiring scene, showcasing his passion for wildlife photography and his keen eye for detail.
