Elusive butterfly

This is a Clearwing (sensible name!). I tried and tried to get a shot of one with its wings open but it seems they don't rest that way, so I settled for this instead. I loved its delicate look.

Where was this?

[Susan Bell]

OK. Seen your other photo. I went there a few weeks ago - was the meadow still wonderful?

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@bigsusan55 Oh, yes, but it was far too windy to get more than a couple of flower shots.

[SIMMY]

Wow very impressive

[Anita Hoyle]

Love the leaf showing through the wing. You must go back when it's less windy, some of the gardens are fantastic!
