This Meadow Brown on bamboo leaves in our garden at Harman's Cross today must be right at the end of their flight season. It has been in the garden for the last few days. @savebutterflies @DorsetWildlife @SightingDOR @GreenDorset @BC_Dorset

A friend sent me this photo of a butterfly he saw near Luton asking what it is? I assume it is an escape from a butterfly farm, or someone has bred it and released it into the wild. I think it is Heliconius Charithonia (Zebra Longwing). @savebutterflies @BC_Dorset

It may now be autumn but we still have 6 species of butterfly in our Harman's Cross garden. This Small Copper has been in the garden for at least the last week, and today was posing on our Japanese Anemone. @savebutterflies @DorsetWildlife @SightingDOR @GreenDorset @BC_Dorset

Walking on Holton Heath today near Wareham we saw this Grayling. If I had not seen it fly and then land, I would not have spotted it, as it blended in so well with the path. It is the "The Master of Disguise". @savebutterflies @DorsetWildlife @SightingDOR @GreenDorset @BC_Dorset

Will this be our last Lulworth Skipper sighting at Durlston this year? - just 2 on our transect count. And a Wall Brown in our garden today at Harman's Cross - just the 2nd in our garden this year. @savebutterflies @DurlstonCP @DorsetWildlife @SightingDOR @GreenDorset @BC_Dorset

2 female Common Blue in our garden at Harman's Cross, but of very contrasting colours - one mostly brown, but the other mostly blue. It is quite hard to believe that they are both female of the same species. @savebutterflies @DorsetWildlife @SightingDOR @GreenDorset @BC_Dorset

Mating Brown Argus in our Harman's Cross garden today - the male is on the right. Then each of them after mating - the female has the shorter wider abdomen. @savebutterflies @DorsetWildlife @SightingDOR @GreenDorset @BC_Dorset
