Are they dead?

No they're sunning themselves. Top one female, bottom one male. These are quite ragged though and will die soon.

One of my favourite species, they do a dance in the air.

It's Cabbage White or nothing for me.

They are lovely

The male is bigger with the white edges to the wings. Also the spots can look quite yellow on the female. More than on this one.

Did you name them?

« **Reply #10 on:** August 08, 2005, 08:05:07 pm »

Yes, Speckled Wood I said that. Can't remember the Latin names off top of my head.

No I mean name them as in Betty and Bob or Frank and Felicity.

Oh I see what you mean. No, I tend not to go in for anthropomorphism.
