Great that you managed to snap a photo, did you get any other images at all of it?

I've just put up two more photos but the rest are variations on those three positions which are more a reflection of the wings spreading a little. It was a lovely sunny day and it was enjoying the warmth but I took that one step too close.

Ta. I'm pretty chuffed and thankful that after some hesitation I ended up posting my 'common grass blue' butterfly
