Bison Hill Beauties
A warm day at this great site. Just a few chalkhill Blue on the wing, and some pristine Brimstone too.

Chalkhill Blue
Marbled White
This leviathon hoverfly Volucella zonaria is up to 20mm in length. It is a Hornet mimic whose larvae scavenge in wasp nests !
Cinnabar moth larvae feeding on Ragwort. This moth has been introduced to some countries in an attempt to control Ragwort because of its voracious appetite for this plant.
