Here's a vibrant colour combination - a female Brimstone butterfly feeds from purple-loosestrife in the local meadows, yesterday :-)
I always like to see Brimstones, but haven't seen very many this year. The male is a buttery yellow, and I read that the term butterfly perhaps derives from their colour. The female is more of a lime green to pale yellow.
The flowers are growing in a dried up seasonal pond, which allowed me to approach a bit closer.
