More Butterfly Pics Needed

[StuartDH]

I've just been adding photos from the Gallery to the Butterfly encyclopedia, but we're missing a few pics to complete the set.

If you've got any photographs of the following butterflies, please could you add them to the Gallery so we can include them in the encyclopedia.

If none of the members have them, then this is the official hit list of butterflies for all photographers to track down.

Thanks

Stu

As if tracking them down were not difficult enough in the first place, getting them to pose for a photo is nearly impossible. What you need is some kind of stun gun so that you can zap them from a distance to induce temporary paralysis.

or a butterfly farm - if we bend the wild shots only rule - which imo would be okay so long as they are on native plants and look wild - ive got a number but not sure what they are will upload some for id next week.

Hi Stuart,

I've got a few that might be worthy of the Gallery. I'll post as and when I can.

I have pictures of Glanville Fritillary & Duke of Burgundy as well as Black-veined White caterpillars - would it be worth me uploading them? They could always be deleted when native pictures have been uploaded by someone. Let me know if you want me to go ahead.

Excellent pics so far. Please keep posting them in, as we'll always need pics of underwings, male, females, and a good variety of each species to make ID easier.

Cheers
