Looks like a female Red- veined Darter to me.

Yesterday at Wheelers Bay,on the Isle of Wight just one Peacock,but later a Painted Lady seen flying along the base of the cliff and a pair of courting Small Tortoiseshell.The latter seem to be more numerous than in the past.Shouldn't be long before a first Clouded Yellow is seen at this location.

Two Painted Ladies,very probable migrants, seen at Wheelers Bay today by a local resident

Isn't all that fantastic!

That is very encouraging to read Guy.
I can say that the same Large Tortoiseshell was seen and snapped at the same place in Walters Copse today by a friend.

Thanks for visiting the IOW again,Neil.Another excellent report and more of your first class photos.Let us hope 2014 will be as successful.

The first butterflies of 2013 appeared in my back garden today,a peacock and this small white.

Today has been the first day of spring as far as the weather goes on the Isle of Wight.So a good display of spring butterflies in Walters Copse at Newtown.three brimstone,males,four Comma,two Peacock.Also I am glad to say a Large Tortoiseshell .Photos will be posted on my PD and Blog.

At Wheelers Bay on the Island I can say that the aftermath of dogs is a serious consideration when looking for Glanvilles in any stage.

Just one Peacock at Woodhouse Copse,IOW today and only Commas(6) at Walters Copse.

At Walters Copse,Newtown,IOW today at last,two commas contesting and enjoying a very sunny and warm spot.No other sightings.

I am very reliably informed that a Painted Lady was seen yesterday morning (14th) in flight at Wheelers Bay,on the Isle of Wight.
