Beautiful Butterfly

Hello everyone.
Somewhere in the beggining of the summer my friend sent me these photos. As I remember butterfly landed on him.
He managed to take couple of photos. Butterfly stayed around. After some time he flew away. I think he continued walking with butterfly on his hand.
This Butterfly is really beautiful. I saw couple of them this summer but could not get any close photos.
Closest photos were when I saw butterfly land on the pine tree and took some photographs.

Here are photos of similar butterfly that I saw. Butterfly landed on the pine tree and it was close so I captured couple photos.

Maybe there is still opportunity to see and photo these beautiful butterflies.

First seven photos were taken by my friend ( he said I can share them)
Last four photos taken by @sammy00.
