        female gatekeeper on a grape vine

        didn't even know the species existed (red admiral, tortoiseshell, peacock, cabbage white - that's my limit) until I did a search after snapping her - educational, this butterfly snapping lark!

                Another gatekeeper, on clematis - this one was very accomodating - let me shove my phone right in her face

                [​IMG]

                And a blue holly I think, again on the clematis at the same time as above
