Gently down the stream

Brimstone butterfly

..male, I think, on water mint (mentha aquatica)

Today on Winnall Moors I found this brimstone - almost the first I've seen this year - kindly feeding on water mint, a wildflower I haven't yet blipped this summer, so between them that seemed good for WildWed.  Thanks so much to Cailleach for hosting.
