It's clouded yellow time again!

I went for a quick late afternoon trip to my favourite meadow, which was full of butterflies, Brimstones, Small coppers, Holly blues, Common blues, Chalkhill blues. Brown argus, Small whites, Large whites, Silver-washed fritillaries, Small skippers, Green veined whites, Peacocks, Red admirals ...and this wonderful Clouded yellow Colias croceus,
I love the Clouded yellow, a migrant species that we see each year ( though some years are better than others), but they are very flighty, so I was lucky to get any shot at all to be honest.
I have also included a shot of a very pretty Dusky sallow moth Eremobia ochroleuca, a mainly south eastern Chalk grassland species.
