What is an "Apollo"?
An Apollo is a magnificent and iconic species found in high-altitude regions across Europe and Asia. Known for its ethereal beauty, the Apollo butterfly possesses large wings with striking black and white patterns, often adorned with hints of vibrant red or yellow. Its wingspan can reach up to 9 centimeters, making it an impressive sight in flight. The Apollo butterfly is well adapted to its alpine habitat, where it feeds on nectar from various wildflowers and seeks out rocky slopes for breeding and resting. Due to habitat loss and environmental changes, the Apollo butterfly faces conservation challenges and is considered a species of concern in many regions. Its rarity and stunning appearance make it a symbol of both the fragility and resilience of nature.
