EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the beauty and delicate grace of a Glanville Fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) perched gracefully on a blade of grass in the Pollino National Park, located in the southern Italian region of Basilicata. The vibrant orange wings of this Lepidopteran species are intricately patterned with black veins and white specks, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The photograph, taken by renowned nature photographer Claudia Müller in May 2009, showcases the unique beauty of Europe's invertebrate fauna. The vertical composition of the image highlights the intricate details of the butterfly's wings and the textured surface of the grass, while the soft focus adds a dreamlike quality to the scene. The Pollino National Park, a protected area in the Apennine Mountains, is home to a variety of rare and endangered species, making it an important reserve for biodiversity conservation. This photograph is a testament to the natural wonders that can be found in Europe's natural habitats and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving them for future generations to enjoy.
