3-13 October: Amalfi Coast, Italy
This was a walking holiday (I've never seen so many steps in all my life!) The temperature was around 23 degrees and the butterflies were very active, giving me little opportunity to snap them.
However, I managed to capture this Lang's Short-tailed Blue (thanks to Bugboy for the ID!) who stayed still long enough - and I was delighted to discover she was ovipositing. It turned out to be quite a common sight as we toiled up the hill to Ravello.
and further along were Long-tailed Blues
The Walls were harder to catch
and I managed one Brimstone in the Villa Cimbrone gardens
and further along the path, a Common Swallowtail
