Very nicely captured, great colours and detail, there's a colony close to where I live so I'll have to see if this form is found there!

Thanks for the comments.

Lacerta, you just may find them in Somerset although I am not 100% sure. In the 7 years that I have done butterfly records for BC I have only seen 6 or 7. Normally they also do not mate.

Pauline, you need another visit to Dorset.
