Small Tortoiseshell
Small Tortoiseshell unfurling proboscis.
Demonstrating that the proboscis is actually made of two half pipes, and is not actually a tube at all.

Ok, suitably encouraged, I had a look through my pics and had 2 or 3 to choose from. To go for the best quality image, or the most unusual subject? Decided on the latter, so here is a fairly poor image of a pair of Small Heaths- courting flight, or territorial dispute? Either way, it's just about the only chance you'll ever get to photograph these little critters with their wings open- unless someone has evidence to the contrary?
