    Nice macros of the White C (Danish name), but I miss the beautiful orange color. Yesterday I was in the same situation. I was waiting, waiting and waiting but the Lesser Purple Emperor (Apatura ilia) wouldn't unfold the wings and allow me to show those two eye spots on the front wings that separates it from its close relative - the Purple Emperor.

    Thanks for the comments Jorgen :)
    Yes it would have been nice if the butterfly had opened it's wings.
