Re: BUTTERFLIES
The last Painted Lady invasion was in 2009. I went to Bude for a weeks holiday and they were absolutely everywhere. I think we may have to wait for a friendly wind from the south to get them this time.greg wrote:Painted Ladies heading this way !!

The one in the photos above is a Small Tortoiseshell.
The Comma looks a bit washed out but that may be a trick played by your camera's metering.

The Comma could be that shade though, couldn't it - it could be just paler than most - maybe the colour was running out when it was its turn
