A week ago I noticed a butterfly in the garden, that I've never seen around before. Researching who it might be led to a discovery: seasonal dimorphism in butterflies! I am 75% sure that it is the summer form of Map butterfly (Araschnia levana), which is dramatically different from spring form (orange speckled with black). Also "Map" is wonderfully fun name for a butterfly =) I wonder if it is based on backside of the wings resembling a map of roads and paths?
