Gatekeeper (Male), England’s most common butterfly.

Peacock Butterfly, showing all 4 spots.

Comma, proper posers and easy to photograph.

Stag Beetle (Male), couldn’t resist a nice daylight shot.

Stag Beetle (Female), think the short stag season is over this year.
Those beetles are mind !!! how many species of butterfly now that Brian ?
ReplyDeleteNot sure what you mean, but there are lots of exclamation marks so it’s very good (or bad) - I’m choosing to think good! I’ve photographed 23 species of butterfly so far, plus seen a few that were camera shy.
DeleteYou have some very obliging butterflies near you Brian, I know how long it can take to get an open wing shot.
ReplyDeleteI know, been pretty lucky - mostly get them open wing in strong sunshine - then I have to try not to get the shadow of the camera in the photo...
DeleteLovely blogg you have
