Une coccinelle en automne

One more taken in the garden recently when the light was lovely.

Heading to Whitby this Saturday, and with much to do, Danny isn’t doing well at the moment, so, much of the packing and cleaning is down to me.

I have decided to disable comments for a little while, as I won’t have time to reply, but will still comment on images posted when I can. Thank you all for your feedback and support recently.

Hopefully the trip away will do us all the world of good. A wonderful day/evening to you all.

The green beast

Blue tiger butterfly (Tirumala limniace)

The males have a brush at tip of the abdomen. They protrude it out and stroke the pouches of specialized scent scales on the hind wings to scatter the scent that attract the females. The eggs are laid on the tender buds or flower buds or the tips of the leaves.

I made my annual pilgrimage to the university campus ponds for a fresh stash of lily photos a couple of days ago, but a tiny white butterfly had other plans for me. Flitting and skittering around, he completely stole the show.

This was my first time pairing the 40-150mm lens with the focus bracketing and stacking feature on my Olympus, and I don't think it performed too badly.

I hope this little flutterbug’s elegance makes you smile as much as it did me. 🌿

Many thanks for every fave and comment, I appreciate them all!
