Peacock and Brimstone aberrations

[peterc]

Bob Clift, from Bishop's Stortford, took photos of a Brimstone and Peacock while walking his transect at the Country Park on Saturday. Does anyone have any comment? The Peacock appears to be ab. griseocellata but I am unsure about the Brimstone one - the extra 'spot' on the hindwing.

Thanks Allan.

The Brimstone aberration will have to remain as unclassified unless anyone else knows better
