Small Tortoiseshell On Thistle
The breeze was wafting the thistle heads on a bright and sunny day at Carr Mill Dam when this Small Tortoiseshell butterfly – Aglais urticae - came fluttering along and settled, with the sun warming its back, on one of the tallest of the thistles and stayed just long enough for me to get a quick shot.
