Bobs Butterfly Blog: August 2015

Sunday, 30 August 2015. A Bit Like a Bus! Male Aberrant Adonis Blue. Male Aberrant Adonis Blue, showing the damaged left wing. This one also had much darker under-wings and even less spotting. It also behaved better allowing us to get several photos each. To think, I can't remember ever seeing an Adonis aberrant before and then I see 2 in one session!

Bobs Butterfly Blog: Blue Morning, Dusky Middle and Ruff Afternoon.
http://bobsbutterflies.blogspot.com/2015/08/blue-morning-dusky-middle-and-ruff.html
Saturday, 8 August 2015. Blue Morning, Dusky Middle and Ruff Afternoon. A really busy day yesterday with an early start where I was hoping to get some images of the female Chalkhill Blue. The first of the females I found was an aberrant form postobsoleta. Although the ab. was very nice it wasn't as fresh as I was hoping for so it was great to spot a perfect specimen shortly after. Another Wall Brown warming up also gave itself up for a photo. Chalkhill Blue ab. postobsoleta. View my complete profile.

Bobs Butterfly Blog: Helleborines and Brown Hairstreak.
http://bobsbutterflies.blogspot.com/2015/08/helleborines-and-brown-hairstreak.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. Helleborines and Brown Hairstreak. Matt and I ventured over to West Sussex listening to the cricket and looking for a Helleborine that had been reported that was thought to be the first Sussex Narrow-lipped Helleborine for many years. We managed to find it quite easily but we were not convinced about the species. It is now thought to be a slightly odd Broad-leaved Helleborine. A really good day and the cricket was pretty good too!

Bobs Butterfly Blog: June 2015
http://bobsbutterflies.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 June 2015. A Dark Green Morning. A couple of days ago I went for a walk over the local Downland hoping to see a good quantity of Dark Green Fritillaries. With light cloud and a bit of a breeze conditions were not perfect but it wasn't long before good numbers were seen. Males were flying low over the tall grass looking for females and although I found a weak flying newly emerged butterfly the wind didn't help to get any decent photos. Dark Green Fritillary in the breeze. Sunday, 28 June 2015.

Bobs Butterfly Blog: Filming Wall Brown.
http://bobsbutterflies.blogspot.com/2015/08/filming-wall-brown.html
Thursday, 13 August 2015. David Attenborough and I have a couple of things in common in as much as we are both interested in Natural History and we both share the same birthday. However, there is certainly no need for him to quake in his boots as far as me taking over from him. If you would like to see this 12 minute film the link is. Although I did take the camera with me photography was not what we were there for, however, Dan did find a large Broom Moth larva on Plantain which was good to see.

Bobs Butterfly Blog: May 2015

Friday, 29 May 2015. Old Red-Eyes is Back. A couple of trips this week to the local waterways has produced some interesting sightings as well as species that I've never managed to get decent pictures of before. First it was back to the Demoiselles and Mayflies, as one can never have too much of these gorgeous creatures! The weather was, as it seems to be at the moment, pretty poor! Mating Red and Black Froghoppers. Another hunter found was a young Raft Spider that was sitting on a pad near the damselflies.

Bobs Butterfly Blog: April 2015
http://bobsbutterflies.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. A little further along the valley some Brown-tail Moth larvae seen in their larval nest. My first Dragonfly of the year was also seen in the shape of a Hairy Dragonfly. Monday, 27 April 2015. With the weather being a bit up and down over the weekend I had a quick look for more Pupa on Saturday. It was only a quick look and no more were found. A Wall larva seen as well as 2 very small Marbled White larva. These were only just over 1 cm. long. Friday, 24 April 2015. I just hope that...
