This guy has been around all summer, always fluttering around the house, very territorial. It's a male of Brintesia circe, one of the largest butterflies here. Wingspan about 8cm. But now his age is showing. The hinds are all torn. He loves ripe fruit or juice and isn't shy at all. Sometimes even sits on me.

He has competition from the wasps which are extremely abundant this year but he just bats them away with his wings if they get in the way.
