Cyprus Grayling (Hipparchia cypriensis) 2025-05-24. Paphos, Cyprus

            A very fortunate capture as it briefly rested on a tree trunk. Just enough sunlight in the right place together with the required camera settings.

The blue in the backround is part of an out of focus parked vehicle.

Taken at 10:49 local time.

Best viewed using the expansion arrows.
