I have a small greenhouse in my garden and one day I saw a butterfly there. It was Lesser Purple Emperor (Apatura ilia), a beautiful and large butterfly, which in the case of the male shows a blue-violet shine on its wings in the rays of the sun, but in the female this effect does not occur (i.e. the female is in the photo). Its food is tree sap and fluids contained in rotting organic substances. It is found throughout Europe and Asia. Look at its antennae: they have orange tips. 馃榾
This butterfly probably felt my intentions to help it get out of the greenhouse, because it boldly sat on my fingers.馃榾

W ogrodzie mam ma艂膮 szklarni臋 i pewnego dnia zobaczy艂em tam motyla. By艂 to mieniak stru偶nik (Apatura ilia), pi臋kny i du偶y motyl, kt贸ry u samca pojawia si臋 w promieniach s艂o艅ca b艂臋kitno-fioletowy po艂ysk na skrzyd艂ach, u samicy ten efekt nie wyst臋puje (czyli na zdj臋ciu jest samica). Jego pokarmem s膮 soki z drzew oraz p艂yny zawarte w gnij膮cych substancjach organicznych. Spotykany jest w ca艂ej Europie i Azji. Sp贸jrz na jego czu艂ki: posiadaj膮 pomara艅czowe ko艅c贸wki. 馃榾
Motyl ten zapewne poczu艂 moje intencje pomocy z wyj艣cia ze szklarni, bo 艣mia艂o usiad艂 mi na palcach r臋ki.
