Re: December 2010 competition
Thanks all for the votes on what was a tricky subject. Usually the aim is to make the butterfly stand out from the background, so luckily I could find a species in my collection that fitted the bill - I don't know what the bush was that I photographed it on, but it was a bit of a nettle tree butterfly magnet with about 20 going barmy for the flowers together with some massive bright green beetles! Once the butterflies had had a good feed they just 'rested' on the twigs which meant I could get some good clear shots ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
My favourites this month were Paul's Excellent Oak Beauty, Charles' clouded yellow - yes sometimes yellow can be hard to see!
and Antonym's I don't know what it is! ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I also loved Denise's Line Hamkmoth which is one moth I'd dearly love to see, however it's camouflage wasn't so good as the others. Admittedly it is better hidden than Grumpy's black arches - maybe in black and white it doesn't show up so well!![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Re: December 2010 competition
Thanks Fishiee. I'm still trying to get into the top three
I was going to use this one. Perhaps (in hindsight) I should have.
Red Underwing.
