Duke of Burgundy, Hamearis lucina
Canon G9 flash
|
On Friday I visited Heyshott escarpment to find my first
Duke of Burgundy butterflies of the season. The weather was once again perfect
for photography – cloudy with some blue sky. I found two Dukes and both behaved
perfectly, posing for three cameras each. I also found 4 Dingy Skippers, 1
Grizzled Skipper, 2 Brimstone , 1 unidentified White and 1 Green-veined White. Plus another specimen of the unidentified micro-moth
I saw recently and a Scorpion Fly.
Photos taken with Nikon D90, Sigma 180mm macro lens unless otherwise stated.
