Eastern-tailed Blue butterfly taking nectar from a White Clover floret in deep grass.
As I understand things, the eye-spots and tail-like appendages are designed to mimic the insect's head. All in the hope that a predator attack there and saving the life of the butterfly. Seems to work. I've encountered specimens with that part of their wing clipped by what appears to be a bird's beak.
Common though not abundant, this year.
On an errand today I had the feeling it might be worth taking the camera. Just as I was about to head back I saw this little beauty resting up on some brambles.
Despite the blown out areas I do like taking shots of these backlit as the orange just glows.

This male Orange Tip was busy flying around when he decided to settle, this was my chance to grab a few shots before he took to the wing again.
After years of trying and being frustrated that they were always to fast, I finally managed to get a decent shot of an Orange tip. Stoked! Arnhem, Netherlands
I don't often get the chance to photograph these butterflies. They are constantly on the move and hardly ever land.
I was very lucky with this one.....except I didn't have my macro lens with me !
