Tortoiseshell Butterfly

The weather has changed today after months of hot humid weather, not my cup of tea I'm afraid, so I was pleased to capture this Tortoiseshell Butterfly last night on the last of the buddleia flowers.

I don't think I will see many more this year so other creatures or buildings will have to be in my 365project.

Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.

Beautiful capture, Heather. Its amazing to see the tiny hairs(?) on it's little head. So much better than the one I posted. A Fav, for sure!

@connie865 Thanks Connie, it was right at the top of the buddleia, the only place that flowers are left, I had to wait until it climbed around towards the underside.
