The Eye of the Green-Veined Butterfly

A close up of the eye of the Green-Veined Butterfly. The picture was taken in a garden in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire. The name of this butterfly comes from the lines of the scales under the hindwings and it is easy to recognise this butterfly when its wings are closed. Common in garden and other habitats April – October.
