You do such great butterfly shots, I am amazed at the amount of different ones you find to photograph, I think the only
ones I have found are Red Admirals, Cabbage Whites and a tiny little blue one that I dont know the name of but was
very pretty and didnt stay still long enough for me to get the camera out!Shutterbug :)
Lovely shots, and as shutterbug says, such an amount of them-
Anywhere near a complete set yet?How many different butterflies and moths are there in this country?
Cheers for all the comments,
As regards a set of shots I am getting there. There are around 28 residental butterflies in Ireland and a few migrants. There are around 15-18 that are resonably common. I have been photographing these to form a series for work. These will provide a guide, posters, online tutorials etc. for biodiversity work I have been doing. Butterflies are excellent bio-indicators of many aspects of environmental quality and impact (e.g. climate change, habitiat fragmentation disturbance & rebound, agricultural practices, chemical usage, etc.).
Cheers,
MJ
