Camberwell Beauty (Nymphalis antiopa) with a juice foam meal

For a fortnight in August 2009, stored beech trunks attracted a large flock of insects. Emerging sap foam was an attraction for hornets, wasps, flies and above all for forest butterflies, including a small group of fresh Camberwell Beauties (Nymphalis antiopa). In the Reinhardswald, the southern edge of the Weserbergland, the Camberwell Beauty (Nymphalis antiopa) is rather rarely observed - less regularly than Poplar Admiral (Limenitis populi) and White Admiral (Limenitis camilla) or Purple Emperor (Apatura iris) and more recently also Lesser Purple Emperor (Apatura ilia).
