Painted Lady - though it has been around for a fair while by the look of it!
Re: can you id this for me please
A big thank you - I didn't realise that butterflies could loose so much colour. I've looked again and can now make out the markings etc, as before I think I must have been looking for a similar colour match and couldn't see anything remotely like this one. I will try and bear this in mind in the future that they can get old,tired & grey - just like me
cheers once more
