The invasion of the Painted Lady by inthecloud5

The invasion of the Painted Lady

We went out with a guide to look for otters, as you can see from today's photo we didn't have much luck in finding them.

Such a disappointment so our guide offered to take us to a different location tomorrow to see if we could find them there instead.

Anyway, we were kept entertained as we wandered along the coastline of Shetland by hundreds of these painted lady butterflies who have apparently arrived on an easterly breeze. Well there's been plenty of that so it's no surprise there are so many :)

Thanks to everyone who has commented and fav'd my photos from Shetland, I really appreciate them.
Beautiful

Wonderful catch of this lacy lady! Almost a sea green in the top party of the body!

She is a beautiful painted lady, looks as though she is wearing a fur coat too.
