Charaxes jasius
So fast and strong butterfly that it was almost impossible to take a picture, but apples, plums and Croatian Orahovica did their job. At the end we had a party with various participants.

The only representative of the genus Charaxes to venture into Europe, though the rest of its relatives are widespread in Africa. These butterflies are strong, fast flyers that reveal the colouration on the upper wings only briefly as they flick them to warn off putative predators and, like many large attractive butterflies, they have a taste for offal, excrement and over-ripe fruit
Thank you Lavi
