Drinking Butterfly

There are many varieties of butterfly in the Jura mountains - all manner of colors, patterns and sizes. I spent a while recently with one butterfly as it went from one flower to another.
He (or she) moved purposefully dipping his proboscis to drink the nectar from the flowers.
The wings moved constantly,...
...alternately folding and opening afterwards to display their full glory.

This butterfly must have had a tousle because part of the wing was actually missing as you can see in this photo.
All the same, he's still amazingly beautiful.
