Common Brimstone-Gonepteryx rhamni

One of the finest Butterflies we have over here in The Netherlands is the Common Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni). It is however hard to find and with the past few years being very bad Butterfly years i had little hope of finding one soon. But then my good friend Bart Stornebrink told me he knew of a good place for Butterflies and as this year is eceptionally good for Butterflies compared to the last few years i was hoping for some good results of the Common Brimstone in particular.

We head out to his Butterfly place yesterday and on arrival there where loads of Butterflies flying around including the not so "common" Brimstone!

So here's some of the results;





We also found other species so here's some of them too;
