That's a pretty little moth, Dave.
Continuing with fingers, here's a marsh fritillary from Priddy Mineries. Taken with Canon S3 compact with fitted close-up lens.

Re: March 2008 entries "Butterflies and People"
I generally bin photos where my digit is involved!!!!! can't do sandals either!! ( Brill photo) but first time I ever saw this character he buzzed me then disappeared, leaving me wondering what I'd seen
( never seen a Purple Emperor!).... he promptly returned, flew round me several times & landed on my shorts ( ex swimming pool).
.... so, still never seen a P.E. but this Lesser P.E. was still momentous for me!!! in the words of Bart... "eat my shorts!"

This is a lesser purple emperor (clytie) in an ancient French hunting forest.

Re: March 2008 entries "Butterflies and People"
Superb specimen with not a scale out of place and a very nice picture of it indeed!
Hatched one of these out myself when I was a kid and have recently reared and hatched indiam moon moths.

Re: March 2008 entries "Butterflies and People"
Taken years ago on my old Samsung Digimax... I'm pushing the theme a little here. Does it include Butterflies and Dead People??
