Marsh Fritillary
Although, as its name suggests the Marsh Fritillary is found mainly in damp, flowery meadows and marshy woodland clearings, some colonies, especially in southern England, exist on drier downland slopes where lush growths of Devil’s-bit Scabious or Small Scabious are found. This is a butterfly in serious decline throughout Europe, and in Britain it has been lost from most central and eastern counties. Drainage, overgrazing and abandonment of damp grasslands have hastened this decline, resulting in fragmentation of suitable habitats and preventing recolonisation from adjacent colonies.
A perfect match - in the kitchen. The purple blur along the top left (which I’ve been in two minds about - my internal match) is a plastic chopping board.

is my favorite color and green was my favorite macro mondays theme....green thread against holiday lights...
I stumbled across a Steampunk festival in Eastbourne the weekend before last, and bought a bag of tiny cog wheels at a stall thinking they might just come in handy for a photo. Didn't realise just how soon!

Macro Mondays-Abstract
Stu made a comment these little seeds resemble corn, I agree!
This is what is left of a tiny flower growing along the edge of my yard. Not sure what it is.
Macro Mondays theme... Rock.
Scoria rock :
Scoria is a highly vesicular, dark colored volcanic rock that may or may not contain crystals. It is typically dark in color, and basaltic or andesitic in composition. Scoria differs from pumice, another vesicular volcanic rock, in having larger vesicles and thicker vesicle walls, and hence is denser. The difference is probably the result of lower magma viscosity, allowing rapid volatile diffusion, bubble growth, coalescence, and bursting. (Wikipedia)
When observed closely with a hand lens, you can often see tiny mineral crystals in scoria.
