Duke of Burgundy

[Callophrys]

Possibly the second rarest butterfly in Yorkshire, but also threatened nationally, so I was pleased to find these two doing their bit to ensure their species' survival!

Thanks all! There were five togs there taking turns to photograph this pair!

And very lucky you are too as I don`t get to see them here where I am.

But you make up for that with all the species we don't see here!
