Well camouflaged, well spotted, and well taken.

Hi Ed, you must have eyes like an hawk to spot this. Your knowledge of butterflies is obviously good, but I'm afraid your knowledge of plants may be a little off. Or I might be wrong here, but I'm sure that the butterfly is sat on a goosebury bush? The giveaway is the goosebury's below. Anyway, does it matter I ask myself, NO! Your image does and it's well taken. I've made some adjustments in Photoshop CS6, by using the new iris blur tool around the butterfly, which I think makes it stand out a little more. I also made adjustments to highlights, shadows, cropping and clarity. I hope you like what I've done, but next time, pick the goosebury's!

A wonderful shot he is so well camoflarged great depth of field and super detail
Can't see the mod but I think you are right it is a nettle a bit to early for goosgogs 
Susan
A lovely shot. Superbly camouflaged is this little lady!
Lavina
Very well taken shot Ed', hard to find them on that sort of foliage I bet.
John 
looks like gooseberries to me but no matter its a great shot of the butterfly
Gooseberries, what are you lot on about, methinks some of you need a trip to Specsavers in the morning to get your mince pies tested! lol 
excellent shot I love the fine texture and the tone in tone background
Many thanks for all your comments and clicks, they are much appreciated, Ed
