Can anyone identify this please? Its wings were quite badly damaged as we had just rescued it from a spider's web. Thanks.

Hello Susan. This is a speckled wood. See http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/species. ... es=aegeria for more information.

Thank you, that was my first thought too. It just looks so different from a healthy one that I started to wonder.
