Description
A Small Tortoiseshell (Nymphalis urticae) on Buddleia alterifolia.
They love that plant - try to get one in our garden next year.
Unfortunately the weather is a little breezy here and so I cant get a really sharp picture - hope it´s good enough to see the beauty of this little diamond.
Thanks for all the comments and ratings.
Greetings from Germany.

Fabulous capture of the Small Tortoiseshell. It is too windy here in the UK as well for them to settle down for a while. Tony :-)

Considering how difficult it is to get a picture of these critters, this is a fantastic shot :-)

the view of the long hair over the wings is just incredible. You did an excellent job of finding the best angle to show off this lovely butterfly.

Great to see this, Markus! I haven't seen one of these this year, and they used to be so common. A beautiful shot, as usual!!
