User's notes
There is a very large amount of them in this reserve at the moment.
Added additional photos, not sure if there are two different types of butterflies pictured?

@Rixon I think these photos show the same species of Butterfly. The Larger ones with more black on their wings are females, while the smaller ones with little black at all are males.
