Butterfly-shot No 100. View large

Was struggling for a shot today but looked down and spotted this butterfly on a plant. I think it is a Meadow Brown but not sure. Very pleased with the clarity as it was really a press and point.

Super shot, I think it's a comma too (have to look on the underwing to see the white 'c against the dark brown'!

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

Smashing shot. Defo not a Meadow Brown though; most likely a Comma.

[Peter Dalling]

Great shot. Yup, according to my Collins Guide to Insects it's a Comma.
