Surely you meant 'teleius'...

Yes, it is so and I have already corrected it.

I have shot tons of shots and then selected the most interesting for the slideshows on youtube. All this year butterflies were snapped in spacing less than 7 km from my house except the Large Walls and the Dryads (24 km) and the Large Ringlet (the Pieniny mountains, Slovakia).

I have posted a reply to the topic Species\Large White early stages . In this topic is discussed among other things also small insect passengers on the butterflies.

Hi, I have observed several times some diptera on butterflies and burnets.

The first one before I prepared camera and the secon...

On the grassy places: Field Scabious (Knautia sp.), Devilsbit (Succisa sp.). Very favourite plants for many species of butterflies.
