Female Orange-tipped butterfly

Great shot.

Thanks, Cinders. It wouldn't oblige by opening up fully, so I had to check in my book to I.D. it. Saw lots of them in the Bluebell woods today, they flit about so quickly, not a hope of a photo! : o (

Super pic, such detail!

Thanks Tet, good thing it landed on white or I'd have missed it. Such great camouflage! : o )

Well photographed !

That's a new one on me...maybe they're still a bit dozy but will open up and be more lively as the weather warms up?

Thanks, Tt and Jacquie. The male bears the orange tipped wings, poor female is plain. : o ((

how lovely... iv e never seen one down here....

We saw lots in the woods near Steyning yesterday ... first time I've ever seen them though. : o )

beautifull pic shirley, well done :o)

Brill shot.

Thanks Carol, thanks San, she posed well, didn't she? lol!
