Toujours rien ...

Yesterday i went up the opposite side of the valley to the campsite... very peaceful & rural; all the way up were Satyrs as in the pics. No fritillaries apart from one or two SWFs. Marbled whites outnumbered other whites including Large, Small & Wood & Cleopatras. At the top there was a small wildflower meadow packed with butterflies. Large, Small & Silver spotted Skippers as well as the grizzled in the pic.
A delightful afternoon.

Plenty of butterflies ... even at the swimming pool you can't avoid them

Still not seeing anything.

Your Hairstreak is satyrium invisibli

I would say that the pictures are visible only to members of the "Group". I have no idea what group that would be. There is an icon to join, but I'm not on Flickr, so didn't try.

I just signed on using my Google ID - as JKT says, you have to join the group to see the pictures.

Lovely pictures of a good selection of species! The hairstreak is false ilex.

I love the Southern White Admiral !! nice one!

Thanks Guy & Reverdin !!

I am not sure why you have to join the group... i specified that non-members could see the pool pics

i will try to find a more user-friendly solution

Charles

this group may be easier to access:

Ah, THAT'S done the trick!

Thanks, Charles.

this holiday i have been following the pattern:

one day exploring / taking butterfly pics

next day in Carcassonne posting pics / having restaurant meal / visiting market etc

this has worked fine apart from days when the weather discourages the papillons from emerging

So far i have seen three new species without being able to photograph them:

i) small butterfly about the size of a Large Blue but much deeper blue colour with white "frill" around trailing edges of wings

ii) Large butterfly in pine forest about size of a Two Tailed Pasha

iii) Large butterfly with coloration similar to Red Admiral and size and flight characteristics of a Great Banded Grayling

having a great time.... hopefully will get pics of the mystery creatures !!

Went on longest walk so far yesterday... discovered several new wildflower meadows full of butterflies.

Any suggestions for this tiny blue ?

Also i saw a skipper like a Small Skipper but half the size... very plain beige colour

Went on a fabulous walk this morning starting at Pomas and heading towards Couffoulens. After 4 miles it linked up with a path i used in previous years. Unfortunately there was NO SUN so just a few Walls and Gatekeepers

Will try this walk again when the Soleil has got his Chapeau on

Any ideas about this little Blue butterfly ?
