Hmmm.
Guy is correct; Arran certainly doesn't have a resident Large Heath colony...
Not anymore at least.
But I think Denise may be thinking of Lewis in the Hebrides...?

Nope! According to my source it's a different island off the west coast of Scotland.
All will be revealed later.

You are probably more up to date than me on this.
I believe that the latest (well, at least pretty fresh) opinion is there is only one species. Personally, I couldn't understand a word of the reasoning.

The Orange Tip generally lays just one egg per plant.

Pete - you are, of course, correct.
Your turn I guess - perhaps another of your photo based questions?
I shall try to think up a more challenging question for the next time I get one right!
