Suddenly it was not only spring, but summer, and butterflies like this one flapping around on a nearby marsh. The green hairstreak (Callophrys rubi) is a small butterfly flying in spring or early summer. This butterfly normally displays only the underside of the wings and it is green. This makes it difficult to spot if it sits in green vegetation. And thats maybe why I have never seen this butterfly before. But now I have seen it, at least one of them, and even the sun was shining.

I have never seen a green one, and can see that it would almost be impossible to spot.

Lovely capture, Bente. I don’t think I’ve seen a green butterfly before, but if we have any in Australia, I think they’d be pretty hard to spot anyway.

I love the green sea of the wings is a beautiful butterfly, here are some at the end of summer, which are brown, though most are much more colorful.
Technically, the macro and composition are truly teachers, congratulations.
A greeting friend.

So beautiful! We have tiny greenish/white butterflies that are really hard to take pictures of because they never stay still.

Great Image! I really appreciate the amount of skill and patients it takes to get a shot like this. Just this week I tried to take a couple photos of a tiger swallowtail with less than spectacular results. Thanks for stopping by my site to check out a couple of my flower posts.
