My latest round of butterfly images.
Firstly the Small Heath on grass seed.
Secondly a male Marbled White on grass seed.
I found this mating pair of Marbled White (below), you can see the difference between the female (that has brown underside markings) and the male that has all black markings on white background.
While I was shooting the image above, a male interloper decided to try his luck.
However, true love and loyalty prevailed and the interloper made off, without making out.{:))
Also found was this female Meadow Brown pitched on Marsh Valerian.

Male Large Skipper |

Lastly another male Marbled White pitched on Greater Knapweed.
