EDITORS COMMENTS

With its vibrant orange wings adorned with intricate patterns resembling tortoise shell markings, this elegant brushfooted beauty effortlessly steals the spotlight.

Its delicate antennae gracefully arch towards the sky while it confidently spreads its four-footed wings to catch every ray of sunshine. This charismatic creature knows how to make heads turn! Not only does this snapshot capture an exquisite moment frozen in time, but it also reveals fascinating animal behavior. Through thermoregulation techniques like sunning and basking, our fashionable friend skillfully maintains its body temperature while flaunting its natural charm. Sue Daly's lens has immortalized this mesmerizing encounter between nature's artistry and wildlife wonderment. So let yourself be captivated by the allure of this blackleg tortoiseshell as it graces us with a glimpse into its world – where elegance meets functionality under the summer skies of Sark!
