Satyrium acaciae, the sloe hairstreak, is a butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. \n\nDescription from Seitz:\nT. acaciae F. Smaller than true ilicis, hardly so large as esculi. Above uniformly dark brown, the male bearing 1-3, the female 2-5 small red anal spots. The line of white bars on the underside is straighter, being somewhat curved outward at the anal angle of the hindwing without forming a W. Male without scent-spot. \nLarva pale yellowish green or grass-green, with black head, two yellowish subdorsal lines and, further laterad, small pale oblique spots; in May adult on blackthorn, especially small bushes which grow on sunny slopes: the larva can be obtained by beating. The butterflies have very definite haunts which are widely dispersed throughout the distribution area and often of very limited extent ; they occur particularly on rocky slopes, with blackthorn hedges and exposed to the full force of the sun, in June, showing a preference for resting on Umbellifers. \nFlight Season:\nSatyrium acaciae has just one Generation and flies from June until July.\nDistribution:\nParticularly in Central Europe. From South France to Asia Minor and Transcaucasia. \nThe distribution of the sloe hairstreak ranges from 49° N in France and 51° N in Germany and Poland. It is absent from southern Italy, the Mediterranean islands, Portugal and Spain except for the Montes Universales and the north (source Wikipedia). \n\nThis Picture is made during a Vacation in Bulgaria in May 2018.

Nature
Untouched nature. When a small piece of cultivated land is left alone for a year during the summer, a remarkable transformation takes place. wildflowers begins to emerge, painting the landscape with vibrant hues. Native plants reclaim their territory and bring biodiversity back to the area. Buried seeds from seasons past awaken, shooting up.

Melitaea didyma, the spotted fritillary or red-band fritillary, is a Palearctic butterfly of the family Nymphalidae.\nDescription:\nMelitaea didyma is a medium-sized butterfly with a wingspan reaching 35–50 millimeters The overside of the wings is a bright orange-brown with dark brown markings arranged in rows, which are quite variable in quantity and size. Sometimes the color of the females is a duller orange, shaded with grey-green. The underside of the wings is chequered pale yellow and pale orange. M. didyma has seasonal forms and sexual dimorphism. The male is fiery red, with a narrow dentate black distal border and a moderate number of small black dots and spots, which are dispersed over the basal half of the wing and end with a short band extending beyond the cell from the costa into the disc. On the underside, which is very abundantly marked with small black dots and hooks, a flexuous sub basal band and a curved submarginal one are situated on a delicately greenish, or yellowish, white ground. In the female the forewing and the anal area of the hindwing are much paler, being moreover dusted with blackish, while the costal half of the hindwing has preserved the red tint : the whole wings are much more abundantly but less prominently marked with black. There occur sometimes specimens with a blue gloss on the upper side. \nBiology:\nThis butterfly flies from March to October depending on the location. This species has two or three generations and overwinters as young caterpillar. \nThe larvae feed on various plants, including Linaria, Plantago lanceolata, Veronica, Centaurea jacea and Digitalis purpurea. \nDistribution:\nIt is found in southern and central Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, central Asia and Siberia. It is absent from northern Europe (England, Ireland, northern France, Germany, Poland and Scandinavia). \nHabitat:\nMelitaea didyma prefers flowery and grassy areas, meadows and roadsides (source Wikipedia).
