EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this vibrant snapshot captured by renowned photographer Tom Schandy, we are transported to the picturesque Arkhyz section of the Teberdinsky biosphere reserve in Caucasus, Russia. Here, a magnificent Swallowtail butterfly (Papilio machaon) takes center stage as it gracefully basks in the warm July sun. With its wings outstretched like delicate stained glass windows, this enchanting creature showcases nature's artistry at its finest. The vivid yellow hues of its wings create a striking contrast against the lush greenery and crystal-clear river flowing gently beside it. As we marvel at this breathtaking scene, we can't help but imagine what goes on in the mind of our winged protagonist. Is it enjoying a moment of tranquility amidst its busy insect life? Or perhaps engaging in thermoregulation - using sunlight to regulate its body temperature? Regardless of its intentions, one thing is for certain – this Swallowtail butterfly is an absolute showstopper! Its presence adds a touch of magic and wonder to an already stunning landscape. It serves as a reminder that even within vast reserves like Teberdinsky biosphere reserve, there are countless hidden treasures waiting to be discovered. So let us cherish these fleeting moments with Mother Nature's most exquisite creations and allow ourselves to be captivated by their beauty. After all, every encounter with such wild wonders leaves us yearning for more
