Wall Butterfly

British Butterfly Gallery

Wall

(sometimes called "Wall Brown")

The Wall butterfly is found in warm weather where it's bright colours attract your attention as it flies by. It is often found on stones, rocks, or on the ground when it has warmed up in the sun. Obviously the warmer the weather the easiest it is to photograph the butterfly as it sunbathes in the sun.

The obvious picture that every butterfly photographer wants is that of a Wall butterfly resting on a stone wall. I achieved this picture at Durlston Country Park in Swanage in Dorset while looking for Lulworth Skipper.
