Green Hairstreak nectaring on a native Bluebell
This butterfly has catholic tastes in food sources and if you look closely at the top of the bell you can see the proboscis of the Hairstreak slipping behind a petal to reach the stamen.Interestingly, having worked out the bell was too difficult to access from the open end it has found entry near the top of the flower.It's also useful to scale this spectacularly coloured butterfly against the flower.
