How about this polydama specimen of tullia which I saw today... not extreme, but definitely "lanceolata".
Anyone else photographing Large Heaths this year???

Apparently not. Just as well you're doing so well on your own. Nice photo.

Re: Large Heath
Large heath is the only British butterfly I still haven't seen at all, so I am suitably jealous of this lanceolata!!
However, I am hoping to remedy the situation tomorrow (though not in the UK) and will report back if I get my full deck, and perhaps some piccies to match this one.

I went to Fenn & Whixall mosses in Shropshire this morning and though I saw a couple, couldn't get a photo...
Nice pic Paul.

Re: Large Heath
That's it! A decisive moment for me - my last remaining UK species seen and photographed! It would have been better to see it in Britain, but I'm not complaining!
This is ssp. tiphon, in the Jura:
And one individual with very few spots:

Re: Large Heath
Fantastic photo of a Large Heath, I would be happy just for a photo of a Small Heath, can you say what camera you have used.
