Congratulations! This is the Image of the Week selection for the Flora and Macro Gallery, week ending 25th November, 2011!White-letter Hairstreak. Satyrium w-album (Knoch, 1782)
It gets its name from the letter "W" that is formed from a series of white lines found on the underside of the hindwings.

Great shot of this beautiful hairstreak on a lovely perch. Nice to see one at ground level!

Hi

As already posted a really fine shot of this wonderful butterfly – an excellent perch subject combination and a strong composition that makes good use of the image elements within the frame – nicely done

All the best
Matthew
