Can I reach the nectar? 2013-06-06 I was walking along the Danube Island yesterday (the bits above the flood waters) and the sun came out. Immediately dozens of these small butterflies appeared. I hope they found some nourishment in the 10-15 minutes before the dark clouds closed in again. So instead of a flood picture, I decided to post a butterfly picture.

Carpenter Miller caterpillar 2013-05-10 (turns into a large grey moth) Seen on a path in the Danube Wetlands National Park. A father and daughter thoughtfully moved it to the side, so it would not be run over by the hundreds of bicycles under-way yesterday. We are having a good year for bugs and beetles. The rest of my bug shots from yesterday can be seen in http://www.jerrybarton.eu/Landscapes/Danube-National-Park
