A warm welcome to my website about butterflies and photography

Here you will find detailed information about European butterflies and the photography of butterflies and other creatures.
Since my childhood I'm interested in nature, especially in insects and little creatures like spiders. Their look, behaviour and colours fascinates me every time I meet them and with my images I try to 'catch' this fascination. Did you ever see the 'birth' of a butterfly? If not, please view and enjoy the metamorphosises of various butterflies. 

My mission with this website is to promote knowledge and understanding about butterflies (caterpillars particularly) and the importance of protecting their habitat. 
The appearance and influence of butterflies and all other insects to our living planet is significant. Nature and our ecosystem is unique and we MUST be careful with it!
For more than two decades I am photographing butterflies and other treasures of planet earth. In that two decades a lot of habitats and species disappeared. For me, nature is a neverending source of inspiration and I hope that we can preserve it!
If you can/or like reading in Dutch please visit my other website. 
This website will be updated frequently and weekly I'm writing about my nature encounters in my BLOG, so please visit regularly!
