Hi, Y'all'
Just back from a week in Marsa Alam on the Red Sea. Apart from one large Brimstone-like butterfly, which tore past me on the first day, the only other butterflies seen were, I think, Plain Tigers. There were plenty of them about, but the only place that I saw them land was on a particular dead shrub (see photo). Although this plant was baked dry, they seemed to be sucking up something from its surface. The wings were only opened momentarily, hence the poor, open-wing shot (well, that's my excuse anyway!). It's certainly a wonderful butterfly and great to be able to watch it so closely.
