Butterflies and Moths in the Chilterns





I recently went up to the Chilterns to take some images of Red kites but it turned out to be a grey drab morning so I ditched that plan and concentrated on capturing some images of Butterflies and moths which were in abundance. I'm not confident identifying these but believe that these images include a Marbled White, Six spot Burnet and one of the Fritillary butterflies. I am not sure about the caterpillar but I enjoyed trying to get up close to these small but beautiful subjects.

    Hi Anthony,
    The caterpillar is that of the Cinnabar moth, Ragwort is the food plant.

    looks like a Ringlet with the marbled White and the fritillary
