Close up of a butterfly collecting nectar from a flower
Detail of a yellow Gonepteryx rhamni (Pieridae) Brimstones butterfly while is collecting nectar from a fuchsia flower. The insect has visible nerves on the wings and the long 'straw' coming from her mouth seems like she is "sipping" from the flower
