Clouded Yellow

[TonyB]

Hi all, I think this is a Clouded Yellow, but I'm happy to be proved wrong!

I can't help on the species but it's a beautiful image... the green background really complements the main subject and the flowers... I'd love to have this in my portfolio

Many thanks John,

I've just realised the Exif is missing and can't see a way to add it

I'm with John on this...........Great detail and setting, i'd also like this in my collection.

I've just checked my Butterfly charts and would agree this is a Clouded Yello.

Thanks Glenn, there are a couple of very similar species
but I think Clouded Yellow the most likely, I didn't get an
open winged shot which would have made positive ID easier!

regards Tony
