Big set of a tortoiseshell butterfly feeding on a Bantock Park thistle flower.
The insect spent a long time feeding on the flower. There wasn’t much else happening, so I kept on taking pictures of it eating. As it ate, it was constantly dancing around, shifting position.
I don’t know whether this was prompted by the other insects (a caterpillar and a beetle) also on the thistle. I didn’t notice these at the time – they only appear in a couple of the pictures.
