From time to time The View from Fez does a feature on visitors to the Medina, sometimes new residents, sometimes interesting tourists. Now, while we failed to get an interview with yesterday's guest, we did get some photographs.
At first glance we thought it might have been the beautiful Gonepteryx cleopatra (pictured below), but the colour of the abdomen let us down. Our visitor is(so we are told) as common as muck! Yep... It's a cabbage butterfly. Oh well, we hope later in the year to get a shot of an Atlas Blue....
For those interested in Moroccan lepidoptera, we suggest you check out the beautiful photographs by Jean Delacre.
