I've seen 2 now, and still don't have an image I'm 100% happy with



Martin.

Please forgive a newbie question but...what's the difference between a Clouded Yellow and a Berger's? They look identical in my book and photos.



Martin.

Therev are lots of Geranium Bronzes here, but for some reason thought this on was different. Oh well...I'll just have to keep looking

Martin.

Thanks, Pete.

Lampides boeticus

PS - appologies for the poor photo.

Everywhere! I even had a Swallowtail land on my satalite dish today...trouble was he took one look at the Canon and flew off

Martin.

Thank you for the nice words guys...it makes it more worthwhile with positive feedback.

John...it was cleaning it's tongue by pulling it up between it's legs. It did this several times.

Pete...I'll mail you soon

Meant to ask for confirmation as to wether this is a Large or Small White.

Been living here on the coast of the Med between Malaga and Marbella for 20 months now but only seen one Spanish Festoon. Appologies for the second rate image...I only got one shot!
