Changed mine again, this time for a close up of a Clouded Yellow, the only one I've seen this year.

Is this a competition about who can get the closest?
Watch this space :)

Yep, another change. A female Common Blue (I was practically on top of it when this was shot) Hard with a compact. Might not change now:

Changed. I pursued this fella for over an hour yesterday. He then surprised me by landing very close, as if to say...go on then, but be quick!

Well I wasn’t sure if we were allowed to yap in the comp section, but seeing as everyone else is……..
Andrew Mc – Many thanks for your Comments.
Chris – Thanks and I know what you mean, everyone seems to prefer the pin sharp macro shots, so I’m still debating if I should change it or not.
Charles Nicol – Thanks again for your comments, although I am not familiar with the Yes Album covers!!
Gruditch – Supportive as always.
He just can’t handle the fact that I got votes this time and he never, so I’m rubbing it in, whilst I can!!

Hi Nick - minor comment. But this looks like a female Dark Green to me, judging by the dots.
Cheers,

Sorry,
you are right this is a Dark-green fritillary. Although when we were at Whitbarrow, we did see Dark-green, High-brown, Small-Pearl-bordered and Pearl-bordered fritillaries. A brilliant collection. For pictures of the visit see my Blog:
