More Belgian butterflies


Whilst photographing the Weaver's Fritillaries, I noticed several of them feeding on this patch of flowers so I sat down and waited.  Of course, once I was ready and waiting for them, no more fritillaries came but this Pearly Heath did oblige.  During another, short walk in the province of Namur, I got to see my second ever Lesser Purple Emperor.  It only descended ever so briefly from the treetops so I wasn't quick enough to get a picture but this time it was the beautiful, summer form of the Map Butterfly which decided to cooperate instead.
