A stunning small butterfly which varies greatly in numbers, but it's always great to see a really fresh example.

Even though both Dark Greens and High Browns are in good numbers in the area, I see many more mating Dark Greens. It's the other way round with larvae though, i see about twenty High Browns to each Dark Green.
