Malachite Butterfly

One of my favourite underwings of our butterflies, although the open wing is stunning too. This is the Malachite butterfly from the Central/South America region.  
Just a quick visit this morning to check all is well and water the plants. 
My days at the moment are fairly predictable when there is sport on - butterflies, sport and light gardening, but I'm enjoying it a lot. 

Thanks to Debbi for hosting Tiny Tuesday.
