Thanks Jason, I did carefully compare the ordinary 7-spot as there was several huddled nearby in the centres of Chrysanthemum leaves. There was an obvious difference, I did this because I never thought I would see one as the name 'scarce' suggests they are scarce
.
If I had known it would cause such a furore I would have lifted it down for a set of good shots, it was too high and mostly buried amongst the Ivy flower head to get proper angles.
Another strange thing is it did not join the rest of the 7-spots, I watched those gradually cluster together over a few days.
I thought I would upload a side view of an ordinary 7-spot, as well as a mating pair as obviously the female will be a little different to the male. Also a different angle of the suspect in the Ivy, which may not again be the best view.
Apologies to anyone getting bored with this..
