Spring Date - _TNY_6099
We had a couple of warm days in mid-March here in Stockholm Sweden and this couple came out and evidently had spring feelings for each other.
These are a pair of small tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae) and I kind of like this picture becuse with two of them in it you can see both the pretty orange colour on the dorsal side with the yellow markings as well as that band of glittering blue spots on the trailing end of the wings, but also the ventral side which has that brown camouflage colour scheme which helps it remain hidden while hibernating through the winter months.
