Better late than never, I'm just starting this off with this little beetle that came in from the cold recently, I don't know what it is yet
I think it may have been injured when I scraped it off my neck!!
THIS is a link to old thread.

I'd swap my bug for your Small Tortoishell any day James!

Small Whites?
Green-veined white for me James!
We were out looking for nesting raptors the other day & there was & little area in a commune where they had planted a selection of trees & cut the grass high to allow all the weeds to grow. There were 3 Mazarine blues, beautiful, 2 females & a male
A tiny little haven for nature in a small village, it doesn't take much does it!
Thank's Hazel, for the ID, and your Mazarine blues are Gorgeous.
First Painted Lady of the year yesterday, it must have blown in with the wind.LOL
Maybe it will be a big year for them! I hope so, they are so pretty!
A lovely sighting however it got there! As you say, let's hope the first of many.
