Northern Brown Argus.

There are a lot of Butterflies we dont get up here, i would have liked to see and photograph.

PS feel free to add any of you own Butterfly photos folks.

Re: Love is Like a.

They really beautiful little things aren't they, I love to see them.
I think my favourites for colour and markings would have to be the Peacock and the Red Admiral though.
Sometimes I see a smallish pale sky blue one flitting about, they are pretty too.
Very nice photo's Nom.

Re: Love is Like a.

We only get the Small Blue in numbers quite common, and we are on the edge of the Holly Blue which i have yet to see.

The colours can vary due too the fading effects of the sun on their wings.

Nice fresh Small Blue.

Re: Love is Like a.

Ah, that is beautiful Nom. So very pretty.

Re: Love is Like a.

Ive got two Butterfly bushes in my garden to attract them , but only ever saw the Peacock and Tortoise shell on it .
The White Cabbage Butterfly comes fluttering through mainly to lay its eggs .

Re: Love is Like a.

Always a challenge separate the Whites Eliza especially if they are flying.

Re: Love is Like a.

The only image I can find. Taken in Butterfly World, near Ryde IoW.

Re: Love is Like a.

I had a brimstone in my porch the other day, I got a photo but only with wings closed, I'll post it later.
Lot of cabbage whites about, I have a few peacock photos to post too when I fire up the old steampowered laptop later!
