@nekoshikai submitted: I've been to a butterfly display recently and took a lot of buggy pics! There weren't many ids tho so I just enjoyed the colors (I live in middle/northern Italy if you want to give some IDs ;D)
There was also a big boi sunbathing and I'm pretty sure I caught some buggy sexy times
I love them all! Including the lizard who can be a honorary bug. These fellas are not native to Italy. The first one looks like an Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) or similar. The second appears to be a tailed jay (Graphium agamemnon), and the last three photos of butterflies are all swallowtails (Papilio sp.). The first looks like a common mormon, but not sure on the others. I hope the ones mating made lots of babies, though!
