It does look a little like a large wall but is in fact a female lattice brown, Kirinia roxelana. The one in the previous set was a male, with less obvious contrast. What a beautiful butterfly.

You'll learn, Bugboy! Over the years I've seen enough to defer to Mr Padfield on every occasion except when I am 100% certain!

Hi Guy,

thank you for the ID, really appreciated. The Lattice Brown is not an easy butterfly to photograph, especially as i didn't even know what species of butterfly i was seeing. But i managed to work it out on how to go about getting a photo and, got lucky with a photo of each sex.

Thanks Buggy for your kind comment on my photos. Appreciated as always.

All the best, Nick.

Hi Nick,

I don't often comment on non UK posts, mainly because I don't really know that much about the different species, but I do know great photos when I see them and there are some lovely ones in your recent reports from Turkey.

Cheers,

Neil.

Can only agree with Neil's comments Nick - well done

Regards,

Bill
