[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Marbled White(Melanargia galathea) is a common butterfly of calcarious grassland throughout Europe. Is a distinctive and attractive black and white butterfly, unlikely to be mistaken for any other species. In July it flies in areas of unimproved grassland and can occur in large numbers on southern downland. It shows a marked preference for purple flowers such as Wild Marjoram, Field Scabious, thistles, and knapweeds. Adults may be found roosting halfway down tall grass stems.

Have a nice day,
Ioana
