Bugs & Beasts 6


My favourite butterfly species, a Meadow Brown posing in the sun.


An open winged Holly Blue - they don't sit like this often.


A Small Tortoiseshell fresh off the mint.


A battle scared male Adonis Blue - still flying about though.


And a female Stag Beetle - only seen two females so far this year.

    2. You have a very modest preference list Brian, to many the meadow brown would be way down the list - me included. Marbled White however....

    3. The Meadow Brown is the most difficult to photograph - they are aware of your presence and fly as soon as you get near them. Marbled Whites are real posers - I think the my preference list is based on effort... Haven’t got a White Letter Hairstreak yet - preference list will change.
