You are not Supposed to See Me!

This Green Hairstreak (maybe Chapman's?) was doing a fine job of impersonating a leaf as I went on another orchid hunting trip this morning, (this was my favourite). I have never seen one of these green butterflies before either, and just managed two shots before she realised I'd blown her cover!

Green velvet wings here, served upside down on a bouquet of Viper's Bugloss of the Borage family.

Thanks so much from Mme Heath Fritillary yesterday, she was very happy with all the fuss you made of her.

You are going to get either macros or telephoto shots for a little while, my mid range lens has gone to hospital, it caught a black spot just before going to Norway and it really spoilt a lot of my photos.
