They're a nice set of pics of that Marbled white, Matt. Are you still out surveying?

 

Yep still out surveying. The rain this year has hammered the butterfly numbers. Got to be doing a moth trap night fairly soon. Thinking about doing it on Saturday night.

That's damselfly lovin' for you. The male grasps his mate by the neck and she then bends her abdomen around and under his to form a heart shape while they mate. He then keeps hold of her while she lays her eggs on aquatic vegetation.
