I got only a quick look at a butterfly in the garden the other day but it appeared to be a dullish brown with a purple sheen to the upper parts of its wings, when open. It was about the size of a Red Admiral, I'd think. It's been suggested it was a Purple Hairstreak. Anyone any other ideas? The attempted photo was appalling! From the size and the sheen I'd guess that it was a Purple Emperor male, it's the right time of year and it does frequent oak trees. -- Chris Green · |
