Dark Green Fritillary.


During a very blustery morning on the slopes at Juniper Bottom I saw my first Dark Green Fritillary of the season. This powerfully fast flying male led me a merry dance but I eventually gained just one opportunity as it briefly rested amongst the grasses. FAB.

  6. I too have been accused of chasing butterflies. I'm happy you were able to catch up with it.
