HI all,

I found this aberrant Meadow Brown in Bowdown Wood (Berkshire) this afternoon. At first I thought it was just worn, but on closer inspection it had no orange on its forewings at all.

Nice image. I saw one the same a few years back, first thought it was worn, but looked like yours.

Looks like ab. alba:

"Female. The usually fulvous patch of the forewings replaced by white".

Cheers,
