Hi.
I have here a picture of a small tortoiseshell with 3 white patches on the wing edge instead of the usual one white and two yellow.
Is this an aberration due to the heat wave?

Hi Neil.

I've just noticed that you haven't had a response to your query.

This looks like a 'normal' but slightly worse for wear Small Tortoiseshell to me. I can't see any features that would suggest an aberration.

Kind regards. Mark
