Apollo Butterflies Butterfly Lepidoptera Russia Russian Apollos

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this stunning print captured by Andrey Zvoznikov, we are transported to the enchanting Sengilen mountain range in South Tuva, Russia. Meet ANZ-928, a rare female butterfly belonging to the Apollo species. This delicate beauty is known for its exclusive habitat at altitudes of approximately 2000 meters. ANZ-928 has some unique quirks that make it even more fascinating. Like a true sun worshipper, this butterfly takes flight only when the skies are clear and sunny. When clouds roll in, you'll find her cleverly camouflaged amidst the grassy landscape below. June is her time to shine! With summer's warmth embracing South Tuva, ANZ-928 spreads her wings and dances gracefully through the air. It's as if she paints vibrant strokes of color against an azure canvas. But don't be fooled by her solitary nature; ANZ-928 is not just any ordinary butterfly. She belongs to a special league of lepidoptera found exclusively in Russia's vast wilderness. Andrey Zvoznikov's talent behind the lens brings us closer than ever to these captivating creatures of nature. So let your imagination take flight alongside ANZ-928 as she flutters through sunlit meadows and reminds us all that there is magic hidden within our world – if only we take a moment to look closely enough!
