Sorry, pushed the wrong button.

This is garden, never saw in wild nature. Same with ilia and iris males (latter is rare), in the mud, on feces (Homo sapiens also), never on flowers :)

I saw more than once ilia on garden flowers, it especially loves Dianthus barbatus), every year I as well shoot it near Borovskoye, added here http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/22019

Thanks. Somehow I usually see camilla on Socrates plants (water hemlock) :) and yeah, their larvae mainly feed on raspberry. Curious gender...
Another idee-fixe is to see once at least Apatura on flowers, their imagoes are quite weirdos as for food choices :)

Hardly indeed. First time I saw them on flowers. As for our local camilla, I shoot it every summer around Borovskoye in July on forest raspberry flowers, all bushes are covered with them. I added here one of shots: http://lepidoptera.pro/gallery/21619

Irina, just some idle curiosity, is it common thing Far Eastern Limenitis rest on flowers? Our local species, only L. camilla happens to visit Apiaceae whilst L. populi hardly ever, I saw just once on Apiaceae. Rather in the road mud. Here even some Asteraceae, as I see. Wonder :)
