Hi,

Still manically busy so not a huge amount of time to comment etc, here is one from the beginning of the month, I had to do some major surgery on this one, I wonder if anyone can guess? Fran, Brett and Tony are excluded as they already know

All the best

Phil

Hi Phil.
Excellent shot. I can't detect any repair work.

I wish I could do butterflies like this Phil - there's something about the colour and tonality of this shot that makes it look very special imo

I can't spot the repair mate..

Lovely image Phil, a beautifully patterned butterfly too, possible lefthand antennae replacement, but thats a complete guess.

very nice Phil and I can't detect the repairs either. The butterfly seems to be a bit challenged in the leg department

Looks OK to me.
One or two of these turning up around here I've been told.
Torn wing edge maybe ?

Oh rats lol

Very nice indeed Phil. If I didn't know what it was I would never have guessed....operation successful

And by the way, it is a female....

Very nice Phil - was out doing these yesterday but never managed an underwing image and noticed many are already looking well worn!

Sweet shot Man! Looks like that Marbled white is in great condition.

Love the colours here and how the browns in the wing match the grass stem
