The Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) has a wing shape that perfectly matches the leaves when roosting overnight, or when hibernating within foliage during the winter. This is one of the few species of UK butterflies that hibernates as an adult and spends the majority of its life as an adult.
Brimstones are commonly seen in early spring as they emerge from hibernation, and again from August as their offspring reach adulthood. These then feed avidly to build up fat reserves for the winter.
Thank you for wonderful comments. I'll be visiting you all over the next couple days. Have a great weekend :)

We had a winter storm overnight that piled 8 inches of fresh snow on top of what we already had. Now there is well over a foot of snow on the ground. But I'm still posting summer shots. They warm me up. I like the colors in this one.
