Purple Hair streak

Purple Hair streak

A first for me. Not the easiest butterfly to see as they stay high up in the oak wood canopy and are active early evening, There are now reports of them on Deeside but this was in Kinclaven Woods. NB Given that they were up in the canopy it was a challenge to get a good pic so no apologies for the quality of this.
