Speckled wood butterfly from head on
Male speckled wood butterflies take a woodland glade (or in this case a garden with lots of trees and bushes) as their territory. When another male tries to butt in, they get quite determined in seeing it off.
I thought this picture of one seen from head on gave a more accurate portait of their aggressiveness that the more commonly shown wings outstretched resting pose.
