Small white

[cmcmck]

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.

What a pretty little butterfly!

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.

So soft and pretty.

Lovely! I like the delicate tall stems on the flowers.

Oh, both lovely!

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