![Gold Star Critiquer/Gold Star Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 1836 W: 94 N: 2340]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-g-g.gif) (8406) | These days it's raining in the south of Spain, what is not very common here, so I recovered this beautiful butterfly. It was flying actively in a very inclined and full of buses mountain, so I shot it from 2 m or more at full zoom. Results are not good (1), but I like the butterfly and I'd like to know if its name.
This is a Melanargia ines (2), very common in Andalusia. It flies from April to June in meadows and bush montains until 2000 m. (3)
The flower where the butterfly is posed is a Crupina vulgaris, a common species of dry lawns and shrublands. (4)
