Can you describe the top pattern of the wings?? Looks to me a bit like a painted lady... but I'm not quoting that!
Nice shot btw - it obviously likes you lol!

I have had quite good luck to be honest, the only ones I have seen recently that have been hard to get due to them being 'flighty' are species of white and red admirals. Tortoiseshells have been the easiest |
