Hello Hello Hivians and Hivers
Every so often in life we get to combine things and make a 4 in 1!
Today and this post is one such occasion.
Over this summer I had the pleasure to photograph four butterflies, and now I have the opportunity to showcase all four in place.
This is as much for me as anyone else lol!
So let's this show on the road!
The image below shows a Red Admiral butterfly (Vanessa atalanta) perched on a butterfly bush (Buddleja sp.).
When I think of a butterfly, it is the Red Admiral that immediately springs to mind.
I like this pose as not only was he perched atop a butterfly plant, but we get to see part of his underwings which are much different to the top surface that we normally see.

Next up was a shot I took a couple of months before and it shows a green-veined white butterfly (Pieris napi) perched on a lavender plant.
I was umming and aahing over whether to have this as the first photograph.
These are four pictures that represent wings..

The third image I captured coming out of a wooeded walk and appropriately the image shows a Speckled Wood butterfly (Pararge aegeria). This species is commonly found in woodland areas, gardens, and hedgerows across the UK and Europe.

Lastly we see a Painted Lady butterfly (Vanessa cardui) resting on a rough concrete wall that was shot six minutes before the first butterfly was photographed!
Fun fact is that the Painted Lady is one of the most widespread butterflies in the world, found on every continent except Antarctica.
