Most likely an Acteonella fossil, estimated to be around 70 million years old. This region was once covered by sea, and one of the nearby mountains was a massive coral reef in ancient times—traces of a long-lost ocean world, now hidden in stone.

Mit zermatschter Banane ließen sich einige Erdbeerbaumfalter vom Kothaufen weglocken. Sieht nicht gar so auffällig aus. Netter Nebeneffekt war, dass die ansonsten eher unruhigen Biester ganz umgänglich wurden und auch mal sitzen blieben.

That's not a pretty butterfly. Yes, its wings are beautiful, the colors and the ornaments. But when I get close, they fold the wings so that only the dark areas are visible. Better camouflage, I guess. Too cold to fly away. He survived the winter. That butterfly's had a piece of a life. #nature#macro#fyp#natureincity#insect
