Welcome to UK Butterflies Phil. Checked out your Flickr site, some wonderful images there, I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.

Those pictures are breath-taking. She almost seems to be enjoying her first post-natal grooming!

Couldn't agree more - absolutely amazing! For others, Phil's Flickr site is at:

Phil - the photos I'd really like to add to UKB are any that are showing behaviour (such as your SSB shots) since we typically have more than enough "normal" shots. In the gallery we have a series of Species-specific Albums that photos can be uploaded into. Let me know if this is too much hassle and I'll look into it myself - and thanks for the offer!

BTW - the annual photo competition is closing at the end of the month

Cheers,

- Pete
