Roger's Butterfly Photos


I am an artist working in East Devon, and for some years I have been making etchings of butterflies and colourful moths. I usually try to draw all subjects from life, but with butterflies this is not really possible, so I take a lot of photographs to help me. Although amateurish (mainly taken with a simple compact on 'Macro'), these may be of interest and give pleasure to butterfly lovers, so I am putting some of them online on these web pages - maximum 2 photos per species. I am delighted to find that so many of my favourites were taken so close to where I live. - Roger Laughton
