Hi Rimantas,
nicely presented butterfly in a really beautiful composition.
Talking of the species I would rather think of

Limenitis camilla L.

Pretty contribution, thank you!
With best regards,
Peter

Bonsoir Rimantas
Je n'ai jamais rencontré ce papillon : "Limenitis camilla", car il vole dans le nord de la France.
Merci pour cette découverte
Amicalement
Laurent
