Dai miraggi ingannatori.


Dai miraggi ingannatori., originally uploaded by baz_baziah.

My Flickr user name is Baz Baziah
My real name is Jim McLeod, I'm from Liverpool England -the home of the Beatles (who I dislike !)
The photo was taken whilst I was out walking around Anaxos a small village on the Greek island of Lesvos (Lesbos). I was there with my Wife and Son on holiday.
The butterfly in question is a Painted Lady.
The title of the shot on Flickr "Dai miraggi ingannatori" comes from Act 2 of Puccini's opera "Madam Butterfly"
It was one of about 8 I took waiting for it to turn completely to show off both wings. It never did and flew off shortly after this shot was taken.
It is so sad to think that this wonderful creature lived no more than one or two days after I took this, why does nature make beautiful things last such a short time yet ugly things last so much longer?
