Gatekeeper

Today I have not been out the house at all!  A thing unknown for me, even on days as grey and wet as this.  What I have done, however, is give the conservatory an almighty clear out and clean.  Of course that is where - along with a hundred spiders - I found this sad bit of butterfly.  Still beautiful, it's the forewing of a gatekeeper and looking at the state of it I would guess from a lot earlier in the summer.  Measuring the upper tip down the long side it's exactly 2 cms.

And really that's it from me - and quite enough I reckon ;))

Enjoy your evening, all  xx
