| This is probably the worst shot you are ever likely to see of a Purple Hairstreak (it might have been a little better had I set the camera correctly) |

Am intrigued by the darter shown face on Ron, seems to have black lines down the sides of the frons which suggests it could be something other than a common. Do you have any more shots of it or is it the same individual as the previous photo?
ReplyDeleteHi Alan I have just checked all the shots I took of the Darters and this is the only angle I have of this one. Out of curiosity what do you think it is?
ReplyDeleteHi Ron, it may well be just a common darter as you do get the odd 'queer-un'. I would have said Ruddy but pale leg-stripe rules that out, but then it also seems to have bigger than normal patches of yellow at the base of the wings suggesting the possibility of a yellow-winged immature, though I would have thought the yellow would be a lot more prominent and could be just a trick of the light. Impossible to say really without a few shots from different angles, but an intriguing one all the same.
