Date: 2013.06. Location: Heves megye, Hungary. (Update) I have been trying to shoot owlflies (Libelloides macaronius) for two days in the morning and in the evening, without any success. I have been observing these butterflies at the west leg of the B?kk-plateau, as they sometimes appeared on the gentle slopes, along a long ridge. In the last morning before coming home, I was out in the field long before sunrise, and after a 90-minute-search I got myself together and I went to sweep the ridge for an umpteen time. To my luck the clouded summer morning provided sufficient light, when, as a token of my patience, finally I could glimpse a relaxed specimen, which I could immortalize. As the Sun was still in captivity by the clouds, I had to wait for the wing opening moves of the owlfly, so I thought I take a walk in the meantime. To my surprise, about ten meters away, in cloaking of the high grass, I found this swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon), which in a very friendly manner, in the company of a grasshopper, was waiting for the exceptionally late-waking sun-rays. While I was watching these tiny insects, I felt like some sort of unsolvable secret and natural wisdom flows from them. (Italiano: D'estate, una mattina coperta, nell'erba alta sul dorso di una collina ho trovato questo macaone (Papilio machaon) che aveva passato la notte con una cavalletta amichevolmente. Mentre osservavo questi piccoli insetti, sentivo che irradiavano un certo segreto per me inscrutabile e una saggezza naturale. Mi ha toccato la loro spiritualità.)
