That's good to hear Linda. This species is currently in it's first spring emergence which would account for the numbers

Dave - I think Eddie's is also a female of the species. I saw this one at the weekend - a first generation male Green-veined White (dosn't have the spots on the forewing) - confusing little devils arn't they.

I am fairly sure this is a female, fairly worn, Common Blue but I don't remember seeing this blue version before.

Looks like it Tim. The orange lunules don't quite reach up to the apex of the forewing. |
