Comma
A foray into macro for me. I think it works best this way round. I know nought about butterflies and thought this was most exotic when I saw it when on holiday in Sweden, especially the leaf like underside. Was slightly nonplussed on the day of my return to east London to find one on a towel hanging on the washing line!

100mm macro
ISO200
F4 1/200

Yes we even get them here near Wigan. :eek: :smile: :wink: A really pleasing shot, and to catch it with its wings open as well. When I try the wings seem to remain firmly closed until it flies off. :razz: :rolleyes: Welcome to macro land.

Nice shot. I haven't seen them much here this year only once.

yes, a fairly common species, I've seen quite a few on my buddleia this summer. A nicely taken shot, I like the composition and the rich colours of the butterfly.
