And now for something completely different

Two rainy days in Medická záhrada public garden lessened the number of customers in our summer tearoom. I had time to explore the surroundings. I found this butterfly.

Diaphania perspicilata




This Asian species was introduced to Europe only in year 2006 or 2007 with Buxus sp. trees. It is now spreading over the continent. This year it was added to official checklist of Slovak butterflies.
