    Any idea what this is? I thought it might be a blue but the underwing would suggest otherwise. Screenshot_20240410-110244.png

      I think it might be an Orange Tip

      Agree with @LunarSea an orange tip. Sounds strange as no orange but when it has its wings open then you see the orange tips. Lovely butterfly.

          @LunarSea @On the Levels Thanks :smile: I don't recall seeing an orange tip in our garden before so hopefully this will be the year!

          @DiggersJo Thanks. Usually I need to take several different shots but I managed this in just one!
