Macro within a Heathland

As we approach the summer months the Cornish heathlands are full of interesting insects to photograph. The Common Blue  Polyommatus icarus butterflies are out in abundance feeding on the variety of nectar sources which the heathland provides.



Another butterfly which is wide spread in these areas are the Small Skipper's Thymelicus sylvestris butterflies found within the tall grasses. I was able to capture a pair of Skipper's mating whilst resting in the coastal downland areas.
