came across that one for the first time.
And to my disappointment it was not willing to spread its wings for me

It looks like our tiny Holly Blue, which I captured in flight (not pre-capture) as well as perched 2 days ago.

Painted Lady butterfly. These do a multi-generational migration of up to 9000 miles from Africa to the Arctic Circle. 6-9 generations are reported to be needed to make the journey. It's a longer migration by far than that of the Monarch butterfly.

Nice shots Alan! But the rule is the genus name starts with capital letter, the species name is low case: Tipula vernalis....

A medley of butterflies from a walk in the woods of Franconia.
All taken with R50+100-400+1.4x@560.
The first one is a challenge:
ObsIdentify is 100% sure that's a Freija fritillary (Boloria freija).
But that's a few hundred kilometers too far south here in Franconia.
I would put my money on Weaver's fritillary (Boloria dia).
Any other idea or comment?
Next one is clear: a peacock. Quite old already, when you look at the wing tips and edges.
Then a comma:
And a small tortoiseshell:
