Thanks, Alex! That scene is from the Val d'Aran, in July 2007. All the blues are males - females spend far less time down the pub!!

This extraordinary display is of a pair of dark green fritillaries that were mobbed by three other individuals whilst they were mating. So there are five butterflies in this tangle. Taken last year at Velvet Bottom, Somerset, with Canon S3 plus 500D close up lens.
