Small Tortoiseshell on the Oregano by jamibann

Small Tortoiseshell on the Oregano

I spent a few minutes with this lovely butterfly yesterday, just watching it flit around on the oregano flowers. At first I thought it was a Painted Lady, but after checking out its markings, I believe it's a Small Tortoiseshell.

A very deep pocketful of joy - son and girlfriend have been camping around Scotland this past week and are coming to stay tonight. We're having dinner at The Fish Shop with them later. Can't wait!
How beautiful.
Enjoy your evening at the Fish Shop :)

What a beautiful butterfly. They don't usually stay still long enough for me to photograph them. Have a lovely time with your son and his girlfriend.

Happy news…..it’s so lovely seeing our flown the nest children….enjoy!
Beautiful picture….thats a very pretty butterfly & colourful flowers. I’ve come to the conclusion as ours I’d mostly a green garden we haven’t enough encouragement for butterflies! I must mend that.
