A flying male Moorland Clouded Yellow (Colias palaeno) in the Hinterzarten moor

It was around 30° degrees in the Hinterzarten moor that day. I saw around a dozen Moorland Clouded Yellows (Colias palaeno) fluttering through the moor. Again and again they sat down on the flowers of the Purple marshlocks (Potentilla palustris) to take nectar.
