A Butterfly Shoot

A butterfly shoot today that produced a good selection of current on the wing species.

The star of the post has to be the Chalk Hill Blue.







In second place for the good reason that I have only observed this species once before in the local areas that I have walked over recent years.
The Small Copper.







Always worth a spot in any butterfly post. 
The beautiful Peacock.







The Common Blue
Currently not so common.






The Green-veined White



The Large White




The Marbled White
Very plentiful this year.


The Gatekeeper

  1. Excellent weather for butterflies this week. Lots of Commas and Red Admirals where I was today but haven't seen any Small Coppers yet this year. I agree Marbled Whites seem to be occurring over a much wider area than I've found them in other years.

    1. If they are there, this weather is certainly bringing them out John.

  2. Stunning pics, Roy! When I see butterflies, I stop dead in my tracks and just watch them until they disappear from view.
