I think it is just a very faded individual Jan, coming to the end of it's flight period. |

Lovely photo though Jan I've just been cutting the grass and spotted this little butterfly and got quite excited as I thought it might be a Brown Argus but now think it is more likely to be a female Common Blue? ![]() ![]() |

Hi Grayling. I'd agree with Common Blue, you can see the additional cell spot on the under forewing. |

It's a type of heliconid, Tabatha, a species usually associated with rain forests and tropical habitats from South America to the southern parts of the USA. |

Wow, what a great sighting. Were you in a tropical garden at the time or had it escaped from one? |

Dave. Apparently Phil did go into the Butterfly Jungle, so that explains it.
