Doubt I am going to enjoy the prestige of being the April winner with this shot, but it's the only butterfly I've stalked sucessfully so far this year.

I'm envious of those orange tip shots. I've never managed a decent photo of the species, the blighters just won't sit still!

Here is my entry; a Lycaenidae, taken on 14th April 2007 on Geoje Island, Korea.

Was hoping to get out last weekend and take some photos but alas the weather was not good to us up in the north east!

"I wanna hold your hand..."

These are chequered blues (Scolitantides orion), photographed on 21st April, in a hot corner of the Rhône Valley in Switzerland. I am convinced they are holding hands.
