Small white
This is a small white (unoriginal name, I know).
They're quite hard to get pics of as they rarely sit still for long and rarely unfold their wings while feeding.
This one did both for me! :o)

And have some pretties too! I believe it's a species of mallow.

That's a Great Hairy Willowherb (Epilobium hirsutum). I've never seen one here in Sweden but they're a relative of Rosebay Willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium aka Chamerion angustifolium aka Chamaenerion angustifolium) which is VERY common here.

My hiking partner and I recently saw a butterfly that was new to us. Its name? The eyed brown.

Also known in the UK as 'London pride' and 'fireweed'.
Such a pretty plant.

There's a similar looking species here called the Small Heath, because it's small and likes heathland!

My first serious interest in insects was in dragonflies, and dragonfly nomenclature is just absolutely wild compared to common butterfly nomenclature. So perhaps I'm spoiled.

My own all time favourite having grown up where I did down in Kent is the chalk hill blue.
