Hiya All,
These shots were taken in a real hurry ( lame excuse I know ) as this poor critter needed rescuing, came home to find him flat out & dehydrated, made up some sugar water for it then put him/her outside in shade, sad old bugger aint I.
The eye shot came out better than I thought.
Hope your all havin a good weekend
Cheers for now
Mark

Hi there,

I love the eye shot, as for it's demise. Don't forget they have a pretty short lifespan.

Regards Darren

Hiya Alan, Darren,
Thanks for your comments, I did think it would recover but hey ho where there's life there's death & death provides life, a shame though none the less.
Cheers for now

Very pretty butterfly, sad about it dying :( Very nice close up of the eye, plenty of detail.
