Doug – I’ve found that, if you can find them, butterflies and moths are often easy to photograph when they’re taking shelter from the wind. However, it’s usually not that easy to find them. I just happened to see this one diving down into the tall grasses.

gypsy — Hi! Yes, it is a beauty. One of those small butterflies that we really don’t seem to take a close look at. We still have some bees around here, but things have been a little quieter than I was expecting for this date. However, it’s supposed to be quite warm for the rest of the wee, so perhaps the insects will become active again.

Dave – Well, I’m hoping that’s the case too!

Shucks. I hope there’s still a hurrah or two left in the season!

Interesting explanation for the butterfly’s pose. I wish that would happen around here at the moment. The fen is experiencing an unusual influx of dogface butterflies this year. That would be cool to get a photo of the upper side of.
