Field Notes

Description:

Lemon yellow wings with small pink/mauve markings. Similar colour on body.

Habitat:

Heathland

Notes:

I spotted this beauty when I was out early one morning walking the dog, but without my camera. So when I arrived home, I grabbed the camera, jumped in the car and drove back up to the heath hoping that it would still be in the same spot as where I found it ......... : )
