Base gallery. Lateral/Underside. Alive insect.

Photo: . Image without retouching at the website. Identified by: Vasiliy Feoktistov

Date and time, location shooting/catching: 2015-04-10 12:58:20, Ukraine, Rivne region, 1.5 km from the village of Tarakanov, inside the cold dark room of the Tarakanovsky fort

Photographer's comment: These bright-colored butterflies are usually seen in the light of day, but black, in the dark, and even in the plural.. A fantastic sight, for me personally. I took pictures in the dim light of a flashlight, up close. At the same time, the butterflies did not show any concern, unlike their bright relatives, who immediately fly away as soon as they get closer.
