Thank you David, yes, she was a bit special... sadly I never quite seem to get the autofocus to work on Dukes... they are both irritatingly slightly fuzzy

I think your gorgeous Adonis is sitting on Hoary Plantain and that Duchess is a proper little stunner!

Re: Reverdin
Ah.. so that's Hoary Plantain, don't get that up my neck of the woods. It was rather pretty. Thanks for your help BB

Re: Reverdin
Hi Goldie, sorry I didn't reply, I have been indulging myself in Italy. Northern Brown Argus are quite local but not uncommon on my side of the Pennines, but the best ones are undoubtedly the white spotted Scottish variety, which it would be worth travelling a little further north and west to see, if you have not done so already. ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: Reverdin
Hi Paul. Great pictures from the first three days. Your cassioides is unusual, if it is that, for the lack of spotting on the hindwing. As a general rule, cassioides and tyndarus don't fly together, so if you were seeing cassioides there I guess that must be what it is - and the forewings do look more like cassioides. I think you were too low when you took that for nivalis.
As for your identity parade, I have begun a post responding to that but then had to get involved with something else. I'll give you the Swiss votes as soon as I finish it!
And as a private aside, I bought a pot of basil the other day and have been enjoying homebrewed beer in the sun with bread topped with finely chopped tomatoes and basil, with olive oil. Very good combination!

Re: Reverdin
I look forward to your further thoughts as to marks out of 7 for warrenensis!.. my cassioides could be tyndarus as I was mainly going on the size of the forewing ups eye spots.. I am not a reliable judge on such matters.... however, as far as food goes I obviously have massive experience,
, and that combination of flavours is an Italian manna from heaven, and in 30 degree heat, is to die for isn't it ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
