Yellow plums, almost ripe on their tree.

A final set of pictures of the comma butterfly which has been today’s subject.

It kept shifting around as it fed on ivy flowers, showing itself from different angles.

The comma butterfly featured in the two previous posts: this time sunning itself perched on a nettle.

Another comma butterfly. This one was resting on a leaf of an elder bush to warm itself in the autumn sun.

Another butterfly taking advantage of of early ivy flowers: a comma.

It is holding its wings so that the underside is visible, showing the pale mark which gives the species its name.
