SpeckledWood question
Posted: Tue Apr 15, 2008 10:17 pm
Hello, I am a novice at this butterfly thing, so have a question...
I took pics of loads of speckled woods last year (my first summers hunting) and they all looked the same - identical...like this one...
I took a pic of my first specky for this year and I noticed some differences - particularly the less-well-formed 3rd and 4th eyespot on the rear wing and the extra pronounced white flashes around the forewing eyespot...
Is this a 'time of year thing' like brood differences ?
My other speckled woods are all from July onwards last year - and they look the same (as each other) despite being taken in different places.
thanks.
Paul
