Last from Northern Cyprus

This is the last of our Cyprus Photos. It is mostly Butterflies and Orchids. I have tried to name the Butterflies but not the Orchids. Please let me know if any are wrongly named. Sue

















Although superficiously the same, the first is an Eastern Dappled White and the second an Eastern Bath White. The Bath has regular 'waisted' green markings around the edge of

the wing and also several different black markings including one with a green centre.


Below are some of the many different Orchids that we saw.
