A hungry butterfly, a small tortoiseshell ab pallida, a rare find!
It was lovely to get back to Sussex Prairie Garden today and see the place buzzing with insects. I have no idea what this is so I'm hoping someone can let me know. If you click on the link below it will show you the top view, it was an off white cream colour. www.flickr.com/gp/31018850@N04/404sad
Ok, so we have an update on the butterfly. The Small Tortoiseshell is an aberration named ab. lutea Raynor. It was first recorded in Sussex in 2012 in Southbourne and this may be the 2nd ever sighting.
