The egg of a Holly Blue Butterfly. I noticed a female Holly Blue butterfly taking a lot of interest in a Hypericum bush in my garden, she would alight on the flower buds and carefully select a safe position to deposit her egg, a single one on each flower bud before moving on to the next. I have never before seen or heard of the Holly Blue ovipositing on Hypericum, a new foodplant perhaps?

A Male Orange Tip Butterfly. This one actually had a lucky escape, I was mowing the lawn and spotted it resting on a patch of daises just before I reached it with the lawn mower. This meant that I had to forget the mowing, what a shame and get the camera instead, the result is the picture above.
