Great shot, these are surprisingly large, didn't realise they were about this time of the year, last time I saw these was in September!

Thanks Lacerta for the comment/message. Photo actually taken on the 21st June at one of the butterfly reserves (Lankham) in Dorset.

Amazing - I should imagine it was cool and a bit off putting to touch - fabulous to look at tho - all those interesting folds and patterns ...
