Butterfly ID
Just got back from Madeira where high up (above 3000 feet) we saw a lot of
largish, yellow with orange markings, Butterflies, there seemed to be two sorts one larger than the other but similarly coloured. the larger a bit bigger than a red admiral. I do not recall any black markings just orange (they were not very cooperative as each time they settled on the Agapanthus flowers they closed their wings!) and I was being hassled to be careful as we were next to a 600 foot drop! If no one is able to point me at a suggestion from this rubbish description I should have pictures later but had a slide film in which I have not yet finished. Also saw a lot of Milkweed Butterflies which at first thought to be Monarchs but they were lower down -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collections of Clematis viticella (cvs) and Lapageria rosea |
