The long hunt is finally over, I got the little beggar this morning. Did I say little beggar? I meant beautiful little Butterfly, the one that I have spent so many fruitless hours chasing round this bl**dy field.
Now I am complete. I have got everything that I ever wanted and I will never have to go through this again. What a sense of relief. I am finally a very happy man.
Isn’t that a beautiful Butterfly?
Oh no!
Fizz! Fetch me my Butterfly Restrainers. I need you to tie me up!
I have just seen a Clouded Yellow. Here we go again….

Great series! What a contrast from the underside to the topside of the butterfly’s wings. I’ve yet to get a decent butterfly photo. Next year I plan on planting lots of flowers in hopes of luring some photo opportunities my way. š Keep up the excellent work!

The intensity of that blue is gorgeous. How do you tell if a butterfly is male or female, does it come down to size?

Hi Emily, thanks for the comment. It is not size it’s colour. I photographed a female yesterday and I will make that my next post š
