This photom of a butterfly on a Dahlia was taken by Rachel Platts at Beningbrough Hall Gardens. But it's a Small Tortoiseshell and not a Red Admiral, says Derek Reed
Among the treats in The Press are the marvellous Press Camera Club contributions.
Of the several on show in Monday’s Press was a butterfly.
However, while by no means a lepidopterist, I think the image shows a Small Tortoiseshell and not a Red Admiral.
‘Does it really matter?’ some may say. I suppose it does if you’re a Small Tortoiseshell or Red Admiral!
