I was up in Cumbria this week and couldn't resist the temptation to boost my Butterfly and Damselfly lists. Not that their anything to shout about anyway ( my insect lists) but with the weather being hot and sunny plus the time of year what better way to spend your lunch hour. Some of the little buggers are so difficult to id in flight that taking pictures is a must. Here's a few I got from various places.
SMALL HEATH
GRAYLING
RINGLET
DARK GREEN FRITILLARY
EMERALD DAMSELFLY female
AZURE DAMSELFLY female
SIX-SPOT BURNET (a moth i know but it was very obliging)
Thats your lot for now. Next installment will be a few Dragonflies etc from the Patch hopefully.

Hi Pod reckon your damselfly is an Azure, I pm-ed you on Focalpoint site a few days ago but dont think you have seen it yet :) The Doc
Glad to be of help Pod, you'll be twitching insects next ;) It took me 3 years to catch up with Club-tailed Dragonflies on the Dee at Farndon.... Cheers The Doc
