HRH the Emperor

So this happened today, after 5 years of waiting I finally saw a Purple Emperor Apatura iris butterfly, and I have to say they are even better in the flesh! 
This one winged his way up and down the ride at Knepp, and finally settled on a cow poo! I have added a shot of him on my finger in extras, I won't say how I got him to sit there, but I am sure you can guess!
Later in the day Charlii took me to Iping common to see the beautiful Silver-studded blues and I have added a shot of a well marked female as a second extra,
