Re: ..a mother's support
My Mum brought me down to earth a couple of years ago when she casually showed me a picture she had snapped on a walk in Rendlesham forest. It turned out to be a perfect, freshly emerged, female purple hairstreak, of the kind that never pose for me in this way! And given the limitations of her camera, it was a lovely picture...
I'm still waiting for my own chance to get a shot like that!

Re: ..a mother's support
I'm exceedingly jealous. I've never yet seen a Purple Hairstreak with its wings open at all, let alone posing like that.
Sometimes you just need to get lucky.
