About the web-site:
I have been fascinated by butterflies since I was a child and
when I purchased a digital camera a few years ago I decided to take up
photographing these beautiful insects. By publishing my
photos on this
website I hope to share my hobby with other people who may be
interested.
Most of the photos are of butterflies found in Trentino in the north of Italy, where I currently live, so the web-site should probably be called "Butterflies in Trentino" rather than "Butterflies in Italy", but I thought that this title would be too restrictive in the long-term. I have, in fact, included several photos from Croatia in cases either where I have no photos taken in Italy of a particular species or when I considered the photos worth publishing. The species included here are by no means all the varieties that can be found locally - I hope to come across many more of the less common ones and add them to the site little-by-little. I have had a few problems in accurately identifying some of the species photographed. If you spot a mistake, please let me know, so I can correct the error. |
