    Marbled White with passenger

    look closely and you can see a parasitic red mite on the butterfly's back. Many of this butterfly species that we saw had an unwanted passenger, although it seems they do no great harm to the host.

    Most of the butterflies I have seen over the last four weeks are either Marbled Whites or Meadow Browns , very few of other species.I took this picture of a Marbled White last Sunday afternoon as I was walking near the harbour ,keeping to the shady paths because of the sun. It was among the tall...

  9. Summer day

    Summer day

    I was walking on the edge of a marsh round midday at the height of a heat wave. I met no one but I saw dozens of these butterflies flitting about the hedges. I don't know why but the way this one is poised on top of a flower makes me think of a ballerina.

    Thank you for your comments on yesterday's post of two Marbled White butterflies. I was struck by the golden costa of the female, a feature which is unusual but sometimes happens.Here's another shot showing the lovely very buff colour of the wing undersides in the female.

    There are plenty of them about at the moment. Whenever I walk on the coastal path , I see them.In this image the female is the one on top.I was struck by the beautiful golden or buff colour of the costa( the leading edge of the wings), a feature I had never noticed before. The undersides of this...

    ...sitting on a thistle! I wish I'd got a bit more DOF in this shot to get the wing tips sharply in focus. Still, given that the butterflies were not settling for long I was pleased to get this shot.
