Butterflies Nov Iberia cruise
Butterflies Nov Iberia cruise
Managed to find a few on our end of Nov cruise in Iberia. Lisbon botanic gardens had a few, Cadiz was very windy & found nothing. Dissapointed @ Gibralter to be told in our short visit shopping was more important than a visit to Alameda gdns where I knew I should find some. The little archaeological hill in Cartagena is a great short walk from the ship & now landscaped with lavender rosemary, found attached blues, painted ladies whites, clouded yellow (no photo) & various wasps bees etc. Madeira proved to be short of bf's in area I went to. I would like ID's confirmed please. Eric

Great pics Eric, the first 2 are Lang's short-tailed Blues as you said and sharp pics of the Speckled woods, not sure about the other blue without underside shot, could be another Lang's?

Re: Butterflies Nov Iberia cruise
Many thanks for the ID's & comments. I was disappointed not to find more butterflies but did also see a Hummingbird Hawk-moth @ Cartagena that never stayed still enough for a photo + unidentified white bf that refused to present itself for a photo. Eric
