Well Jon thanks for that information. As ever I discover another huge gap in my knowledge and will have to delve into books/Google.

Butterfly Conservation, Dorset branch, has reported small tortoiseshells out and about after hibernation. Yours is in good condition compared with the one in the e-mailed photo I received yesterday.

I know little about butterflies, but that is a cracking image. 👍
Yet again, I'm impressed at the variety of knowledge that is shown on this site.
Be well, stay safe.

We have had a harsh start to the year with snow and frosts (minus 2 last night). Having a wander round the garden and admiring the snowdrops which have been good this year and there is a butterfly - A small tortoiseshell enjoying the nectar. A grabshot with the KP and Sigma 105mm Macro. So are there insect experts on here to advise? Is this a newly emerged butterfly or, with the ragged edges to the wings, some sort of survivor from last summer. Anyway, a nice surprise in Lancashire this early in the year.
