Italian Alps, north / central
Here are a few recent shots from the mid-northern Italian Alps and environs, more will be added in due course, hope they have been worth posting...at least it shows what one might see with a bit of effort in that region, though being a very late season, probably more indicative for mid-late June tha...

Re: Padfield
OK Guy, I think your photos must have been photoshopped in order to produce that huge fat chap - and I remember all those slopes were steeper, and Eddie the Eagle had nothing on my attempt to fly! For all your avid readers, me of course included, here is my rarest find of that day, wild in it's own ...

Re: Reverdin
About this time each year lately, I have been compelled to post a piccy or two of my evolving wildflower patch..
I think it's looking well, the Bumblebees love it but as for butterflies... no real joy yet.... I live in hope of Common Blues!![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Re: icarus vs thersites
Excellent... when I first started looking for European butterflies, I would have found these invaluable.... I find many features explained in guides are less than easy to distinguish therein.....yet such are easier in side by side images..... such as Guy's Rock vs Woodland Grayling last year, and al...

icarus vs thersites
Having achieved my first male thersites photo this year, I was keen to compare it to icarus just to see the androconial patch differences..... here is the comparison....
I think it demonstrates the difference well.
