MEADOW BROWN BUTTERFLY
Another Meadow Brown Butterfly and a great deal of them about this year.
In fact the past couple of days the heat had been exhausting and despite them stating 24 degrees it felt a great deal warmer than that and 70% of the butterflies have been Meadow Browns the rest a spilt between Speckled Woods and Ringlets.
Saw one Large White Butterfly.
Very few of anything else about so I am guessing they have a better handle of the heat.
Annoying but I saw something copper coloured and possibly a Gatekeeper to but did not see where the landed, if they landed at all?!

THE RINGLET BUTTERFLY - APHANTOPUS HYPERANTUS Part One (Video and Photos)
Well what do you know?!
These butterflies I had been seeing everywhere that I thought were Speckled Woods as I had taken shot before and these ones I had only seen the under side of the wings turn out to be something else entirely, lol.
I did think that just a different sex was all it was. AS I knew there were two Brown Butterflies, the Speckled Wood and the Meadow Brown, I just thought it would be one sex I was not familiar with, lol.

SPECKELD WOOD BUTTERFLY - PARARGE AEGERIA TIRCIS
Apologies for the bad shots and I hope to get more of this species.
Spotted when two were squabbling in mid air and did not care that I was there at all?! I
Then after a 5 minute battle of the bulge one landed and then it DID CARE that I was there and I could not get the right angle to get some good shots.
The light spots looked iridescent in the sunshine and in all honesty they looked a rusty red when in battle probably due to the lighter colours beneath their wings.
Also I did not know what this species was called and I have to rely on family members to give me names of insects, lol.
