The white spots are not a 100% constant feature - so you haven't necessarily missed them before!

And sometimes, as with the one pictured, you get more than one! There are also faint traces of additional black spots on the forewings.

Lovely picture PJU :D I'll be looking for them at the weekend myself!

Cheers
