Speckled woods have brown wings with creamy-yellow spots; there is one black and white eyespot on the forewing and three on the hind. The undersides are patterned orange, yellow and brown.
This species is common in woods, scrub and tall vegetation throughout southern England and lowland Wales, and appears to be recolonising eastern and northern England and Scotland.
You can often see males perched in pools of sunlight or fluttering upwards in a band of sunshine in an otherwise shady woodland ride. Females lay single, white eggs on a variety of grasses along the sunny edges of woods, rides and hedges.
The caterpillars are bright green with faint, darker green and yellow stripes. They pupate after about 10 days, with the chrysalises suspended beneath grass blades. Unlike any other British butterfly, speckled woods are able to hibernate as either a caterpillar or chrysalis.
Adults feed on aphid honeydew. They are rarely seen on flowers except early and late in the year when there are few aphids. Caterpillars eat various grasses, including false brome, cock's-foot, Yorkshire fog and common couch.

Although many buckwheat plants are blooming most of the wildflowers are past bloom at Snow Mountain Ranch, Yakima County where I photographed this plant. I hike some of the trails yesterday (6/20). Wind was blowing so wildflower photography results are not the best. IMG_5721
Das Große Blumenbeet ist das traditionelle Markenzeichen des egaparks und gleichzeitig Europas größtes ornamental bepflanztes Blumenbeet.
The Great Flowerbed is the traditional signature feature of th egapark and Europe's largest ornamentally planted flowerbed.
Der egapark (ega: Erfurter Gartenbauausstellung) gehört mit einer Fläche von 36 Hektar zu den großen Garten- und Freizeitparks Deutschlands. Das Parkgelände liegt im Südwesten der Stadt auf dem 265 Meter hohen Cyriaksberg. Aus der ehemaligen Zitadelle Cyriaksburg hervorgegangen, wurde das Gebiet ab 1885 zur öffentlichen Grünanlage umgestaltet und in der Folgezeit weiter ausgebaut. Nach einer ersten Gartenschau im Jahr 1950 fand ab 1961 mit der regelmäßig veranstalteten Internationalen Gartenbauausstellung (iga) die größte und bedeutendste Veranstaltung dieser Art in der DDR und im sozialistischen Lager statt. Der wegen seiner einzigartigen gartenbaulichen Gestaltungskonzeption seit 1992 denkmalgeschützte Park zählt zu den Hauptwerken des Landschaftsarchitekten Reinhold Lingner und gehört zu den bedeutendsten Zeugnissen der Gartenarchitektur der 1960er Jahre in Deutschland. Dieser Park bildet das Kernstück der BUGA 2021 in Erfurt.

With an area of 36 hectares, egapark (ega: Erfurt Horticultural Exhibition) is one of Germany's large garden and leisure parks. The park area is located in the south-west of the city on the 265-metre-high Cyriaksberg (St. Cyriacus' Hill). Emerging from the former Cyriaksburg citadel, the area was transformed into a public green space from 1885 and subsequently further developed. After a first garden show in 1950, the International Horticultural Exhibition (iga), held regularly from 1961 onwards, was the largest and most important event of its kind in the GDR (East Germany) and the East Block. The park, which has been a listed monument since 1992 because of its unique horticultural design concept, is one of the main works of the landscape architect Reinhold Lingner and is one of the most important testimonies to the garden architecture of the 1960s in Germany.This park is the centrepiece of BUGA 2021 in Erfurt.

Comma / polygonia c-album. Stanton Canal, Derbyshire. 19/07/15.
First generation Comma butterflies have only been on the wing during the last five days in my local patch. This ones wings are worn in places already.
Having watched them swooping powerfully around Hawthorns, I'm not surprised! They are very territorial and fly out to do battle with anything that encroaches. Inquisitive, pugnacious fighters.
Ladybirds/Ladybugs are such beautiful tiny little creatures, quite fragile really, which made me think of the phrase, "life is fragile, handle with prayer!"
As a Christian, I don't just pray to God when I'm in need, but thanking Him every day even for my basics is necessary. Family, Finance, Food and even my Future. I might not know what's ahead, but I know I'm not facing it alone :)
I took this shot last month as I was walking back home from my local forest park, the nettles at the side of the hedgerows were covered in Ladybugs, so I had my choice of shots, but it was really hot that day and the pollen count was so high, that my hayfever kind of ruined it LOL
Hope you are all having a great weekend. It's raining here today, but it's a good excuse to stay indoors and edit some pics :)
Thank you for the comments and faves on yesterday's Great Tit Photo :)

I was sat feeding the small birds and various tits when I caught a slight movement out of the corner of my eye. Closer investigation revealed this red admiral settled on a leaf not quite in the lens minimal focus distance but close enough to fly off if I moved. I noticed the shadow it was casting on the nettle leaf and settled for this shot with it being something out of the ordinary.

I have no idea which Shieldbug this is, but I bet I know someone who does! And yes, she's come up trumps yet again! Bless and thank you Maria for the ID :-)
I guess its a good time to tell you guys about my little adventure with Noseburn and how I came to know it…by SITTING in it. Yep, while I was squatting down to get a photo of a beautiful scutellaria it got me right through my gym pants in 3 places. Since I thought I was stung by wasps I frantically looked around for the assailants to no avail...even pulled my jogging pants down to see if they were inside my clothes. The most embarrassing thing about this is that since I didn't yet realize it was a little inconspicuous plant I went right back into it...OMG! THAT'S when it dawned on me....and in trying to get away I ended up with it touching the backs of my legs and thighs, shins and ankles. I was on fire from my butt down...I drove back to my brother's house with tears in my eyes and tried to explain that I had been attacked by the most heinous 8-in plant in the world....all I could do was swear when I tried to describe what had just happened to me. The worst of it lasted maybe 20 minutes but I was very aware of all those areas for several hours.
I'm sure this stuff has a place somewhere in the food chain but I could have done without this encounter. The plants in the photo are the actual ones that got me before I stepped on them. I feel no regret about that.
Now don't sit there thinking I would be upset if you laughed, even I think it was hilarious that I was on the side of the road in my bright blue underwear.
チリメンナガボソウ（縮緬長穂草、学名：Stachytarpheta dichotoma）熱帯アメリカ原産のクマツヅラ科ナガボソウ属の多年性草本。薬用に使われる。Stachytarpheta cayennensis is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family known by many English language common names, including blue snakeweed, Cayenne snakeweed, dark-blue snakeweed, bluetop, nettle-leaf porterweed, rattail, rough-leaf false vervain,[2] blue rat's tail, Brazilian tea, Cayenne vervain, false verbena, joee, nettleleaf velvetberry,[3] and Cayenne porterweed.[4] Names in other languages include honagasō (Japanese), gervão-urticante (Brazilian Portuguese),[2] piche de gato, rabo de zorro (Spanish), herbe á chenille, herbe bleue, queue de rat (French), ōi, ōwī (Hawaiian), and tiāki (Māori).[3] It is native to the Americas, from Mexico south through Central and South America to Argentina, as well as many islands of the Caribbean. It is known in many other parts of the world as an introduced species, including regions in Africa, India, Indonesia, Australia, Florida in the United States, and many Pacific Islands. Its distribution is now considered pantropical. In many places it has become an invasive species.[3]
This plant is a perennial herb or shrub growing up to 2[3] or 2.5[5] meters tall. It has an upright, branching stem, sometimes with a woody base. The leaves are oppositely arranged. The blades are up to 8 to 10 centimeters long, oval in shape with sharply toothed edges, and rough-textured or wrinkly on the upper surfaces. The inflorescence is a very narrow spike up to 40[3] to 45[5] centimeters long covered in pointed bracts. Occasional flower corollas bloom from between the bracts. The flowers are deep purple-blue to lavender with pale centers,[3] and white-flowered plants are known.[5][6] The flowers last a single day before wilting.[7] The plant was named for Cayenne, the capital of French Guiana.[6]
In some places this plant is simply naturalized. It may be a casual weed, a "garden thug", a crop pest, or an invasive species with effects on the local ecosystem.[8] It is well-adapted to disturbed, cultivated, and wasted land. It grows in pastures, on cropland, and on roadsides. In grazed fields it propagates rapidly because livestock find it distasteful, avoid it, and selectively graze out the other vegetation. In rainy areas it can form thick beds, but it easily persists in dry areas.[3]
In Florida, this Stachytarpheta is often confused with a closely related native species, S. jamaicensis. It has appealing flower displays that attract butterflies; in its native range it was observed to attract 98 different species.[9] It is mistakenly sold as the native ornamental, planted, and allowed to take hold. It then has the potential to become a noxious weed. Hybrids of the two species also occur when it is introduced.[7][10] Intentional plantings for ornamental purposes are a common way that this plant spreads. It is also introduced when the seed is transported in garden waste, rainwater, fodder, and contaminated seed shipments, and on vehicles.[3]
Methods of control include keeping the plants cut down or pulling them up, taking care to remove the large roots. Herbicides such as glyphosate are used.[3]
This plant has some uses in traditional medicine. Several Latin American peoples recognize extracts of the plant as a treatment to ease the symptoms of malaria. The boiled juice or a tea made from the leaves or the whole plant is taken to relieve fever and other symptoms. It is also used for dysentery, pain, and liver disorders.[11] A tea of the leaves is taken to help control diabetes in Peru and other areas.[12] Laboratory tests indicate that the plant has anti-inflammatory properties.[13] (From Wikipedia)
