Discover the enchanting dance of the Clouded Yellow butterfly (Colias croceus) as it gracefully feeds on the vibrant nectar of Devil's Bit Scabious (Succisa pratensis) in a serene meadow. Witness this stunning moment in nature, as the Clouded Yellow, with its distinctive orange wings, flutters from flower to flower in Dorset, UK, during the sun-soaked August days. This elusive beauty is also found in Europe, such as near Lake Kerkini in Greece, where it searches for more nectar sources to fuel its journey. Captured in a fleeting instant, the Clouded Yellow rests atop a pink flower, its delicate wings poised to take flight once more.
