Dalhia, Aster, Budlea and some other flowers can attract the last butterflies of the year. The mild autumn and some sunny days allow a partial third generation.
Today at the National Botanic Garden of Belgium, I was lucky to find 4 different species of Nymphalidae. They are quite common, but to find all of them on the same day was very nice.

Dalhia, Aster, Budlea et quelques autres fleurs peuvent attirer les derniers papillons de l’année. L’automne doux et les quelques beaux jours permettent l’apparition d’une troisième génération. Aujourd’hui, au Jardin botanique national, j’ai eu la chance de trouver 4 espèces de Nymphalidés. Ils sont relativement courants, mais les trouver le même jour fut très agréable.

Hi Catherine,
nice composition of butterfly shots, each worthy individual photos. Great colour and depth. One suggestion, maybe rotating the first butterfly to also face the middle. Nice work, tfs

Hi Catherine,
Outstanding collage of these beautiful butterflies with such gorgeous colours and sharpness. Superb light handling and such fantastic open-winged poses you have captured them all. They really are a delight for the eyes. A special compositon too.

Hi Catherin
4 beauties - I agree ;-) All shots are very good. Great natural colors, not disturbing background, perfect sharpness. I especially like the dark individual of I. io and a foto of P. c-album - full of colorful flowers

Hello Catherin,

How much joy is in your collage. All the photos are full of sun and colors bringing hapyness in viewers soul. All the photos are technicaly very good but putting them together you have created a piece of fine art.

Thank you for sharing,

Catherine,
wow...very beautiful collage with butterflies!!!
Excellent choice of the same Nymphalidae family and very good DOF and POV.

Ciao Catherine,
è veramente emozionante poter fotografare queste bellissime farfalle nello stesso giorno, gli ottimi POV e l'eccellente definizione esaltano le splendide livree dai vividi colori. In questi giorni ho avuto anch'io la possibilità di fotografare molte farfalle contemporaneamente in un piccolo habitat di aster selvatici in piena fioritura (aster diffusus).
TFS.

Hi Catherine,
a nice collage f this beautiful butterflies, if I shall be frank I prefer them one by one, the size of them are a bit too small for my liking, but that's personal.
Lovely colours and fine composition
Well done.
