ID Please!

[Ladybird]

I know I haven't been on here for a while but I found a lovely butterfly on the inside of the bedroom window this morning, ran to get the macro lens and found a big moth sat on the lens! I guess it's natures way of telling me it's time I did some shooting!

The Butterfly is a Comma.

if you can take a top down shot of the moth I'll try to identify that too (I have a suspicion but want to confirm).

Thanks for the ID on butterfly It's nice to know what i have found!

The moth I'm afraid to say was deceased, I let him go out of the window!

The third is my favourite. Really like the detail on the butterfly. Shame it wasnt outside with a more pleasant sorrounding.

Thanks Kim, I could have tried some outside shots but it settled on a first floor window ledge and was a bit tricky! Thought I'd try posting the indoor shots to see if I could get it I.D'd.

I did feel really guilty about putting it outside, It seemed a bit cold out there for a butterfly.

Those are rather cool!

I really liked the second one where you can get just a glimpse of the fiery colour within!
