It has turned so bitterly cold that I have no inclination whatsoever to trawl around the meadow for critters that are obviously hiding from the wind and rain, so another from the archives, a female orange tip resting on a rather unusual seed-head. I hve only ever seen one of these females here, and a sprinkling of males.
UPDATE: Thanks, John (fishiee) for giving me the correct ID

Love the colours here and I don't blame you for not venturing out!
This is really stunning image Carol, as usual you have captured it nicely and presentation if excellent..
Samar..
Some one might kiss your camera if not hands, for such splendid images.
Not only an interesting fluffy flutterby, but also a very interesting plant. And as always, so well taken, great macro work Carol.
Johanna
What a pretty little critter...
And those seedheads are stunning
V1 in particular is amazing with that green leaf as background - the whole world seems to have turned green.

Trev

Graham 
good shot with a well caught eye, I seem to have missed the eye in my pics
Hi Carol,
Lovely pair of shots. Love both the butterfly and the rather attractive seed head it's resting on in the first image (which is my favourite).
One thing though - it's not an Orange Tip. It's actually a Dappled White. Probably Eastern Dappled White looking at my book here and probably also male not female. It's still stunning whatever it is though
That is an unusual seedhead! Almost looks like the edges are tipped with frost! The butterfly is amazingly detailed with the hairs so tactile.

Absolutely a spectacular image. A macro image transformed into a work of art.

V1 is stunning Carol, the detail is outstanding and I like all those different shades of green.
