butterfly

For June, the weather here in the Loire Valley is awful!! So here's one from a couple of weeks ago when the weather was much better!

Small Tortoiseshell butterfly - male I think but would be grateful for advice from those more experienced.

Am I right in thinking this is a Tortoiseshell?

Common Blue, a regular at a local bog and these butterflies are quite photogenic if given enough time to settle.

I'd guess, due to the colour and the veins, that this is some sort of veined-white. The Butterfly was incidental really, I just wanted something to land there. Not a Macro, but I was only about 4ft away.

While photographing birds today I saw this beautiful Queen Butterfly on the side of the road, could not resist to take a few photos.

I saw this butterfly in upstate New York in June. Can anyone confirm that it's a Great Spangled Fritillary?

Pareronia anais anais from the family Peiridae is a very beautiful blue butterfly wandering around the forest of the Indian and SE Asian Subcontinent

Once again, I have no idea of the species, but this tiny beauty caught my eye. That wing is only a little over a centimetre high, so it's a very cute little creature, especially with that little turned-up 'nose'.
