We’ve had cooler, greyer, wetter weather in recent days, which isn’t so good for seeing hosts of butterflies and other insects flying around the wildflowers but, if you can find them, it does slow those insects down a bit making macro photography a little easier … sometimes. A slow, quiet, stealthy approach is still required as, to take macro photos with my Olympus camera, I need to get as close as an inch to my subject. Mostly, the insects fly or scuttle off, but this stunning Silver Y moth was a rather lovely exception to my usual failures.

I had one of those on my landing a few days ago, it was too fluttery to picture though.
I also had a Marbled White on the outside of my kitchen window which stayed there for more than half an hour. I have quite a few shots of that!

I am very envious of your Marbled white. We don’t see them in my area, except for the occasional one that’s been blown across from England. Having said that, I’ve had 2 local sightings this year, but very distant.
They are beautiful creatures.
