Green Hairstreak Butterfly
 |
Although it is not encountered
very often, this is probably a reasonably common butterfly in Shropshire.
The Green Hairstreak often occurs with its larval food-plant Broom.
This fine female specimen was photographed in an old quarry near Wellington in the vicinity of Broom. May 2005. |
