id heath butterfly

Post by Anthony »

I was at Mares Hill, Witley yesterday and this butterfly landed next to us while having lunch. I can't make a confident id, what do you think it is?

Hi Anthony.

It's a Brown Argus. I'm fairly sure it's a female.

Kind regards. Mark

Brilliant. Thanks for the id. I had thought that it maybe a brown argus but couldn't be sure.
