The Specked Wood

The Specked Wood
A local walk gives me a rare glimpse of a static butterfly on this blackberry bush. It is a Specked Wood Butterfly (Pararge aegeria) and maybe the first time I have ever seen such a specimen. Normally they flutter away long before I can focus on them.

Enjoy full screen.

Just heard on the news this morning (Sept 18) that Butterflies are at a dangerous low number this year in Britain.

Great shot Herb. I have that problem too. Maybe he was drunk from those berries!

Hi Pete, I think they feed on the dew more than the berries. A rare still butterfly here but as it was morning perhaps it was not fully awake.

Cheers. Herb

You are so kind Keith. Not quite up to your standards I really think as this was not my macro lens but I was pretty happy with it.

Have a good week. Herb
