Late Summer Butterflies

The heatwave continues - butterflies and dragonflies are still about.

A Common Blue butterfly, never seen in large numbers, this tiny
butterfly has definitely been less scarce this summer along the dry
wild-flower verges


The Small Copper butterfly, never seen here in huge numbers,
very easily overlooked


A female Ruddy Darter warming up. Not ruddy and not darting!
The male is bright red, hence the name.
