So back to the Tortoiseshell in my car.

Hmmmmmmmmm...looks like air/heat venting for a Volvo?

I have only ever seen a Volvo from the outside I have a very ordinary Skoda (aka VW Up!)

As for the other pair you found,you may have been lucky enough to stumble across the paring which produces the ultra rare (naturally occurring) hybrid between Adonis/Chalkhill AB;Polonus (see pics in AB section )
You,ll have to keep your eyes peeled next spring !...…….. You never Know ,you may get lucky !!
Thanks for Comments David (re;Adonis ),must admit I,ve only seen Adonis on Blackberries on a couple of occasions ,these particular males ,seemed to be using them as prominent perches as opposed to feeding from them .
I believe theres a shot of an Adonis( on Blacberries) on the species specific section ,one of my favourite pictures actually ! can,t recall who posted it.
Regards Allan.W.

Luckily you managed to photograph Clouded Yellow this year. Presumably they won't be allowed here in 2019 after Brexit.
