Thanks, I thought my research skills had gone to pot :)

Adrian has been doing a lot of work on his site. I will be glad when it is back to 100% as I am a bit lost without it.

Ops mistype. It wasn't on the site I actually emailed him and Adrian was kind enough to ID it for me.

Chez - the link is incorrect. It should read

http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com

This is my main reference for butterflies, but still I cannot find it on the site! Well done for tracking it down :)

I have a name for this butterfly at last thanks to the help of Adrian Hoskins www.learningaboutbutterflies.com
It's a Simiskina pheretia bilitis

I've tried looking through images online but no luck either. Keep my fingers crossed I'll get an id eventually.

Neither can Dave. Does anyone know what this beautiful butterfly is called?

So distinctive that I cannot believe that it hasn't been identified by the experts here!

It has an appias look about it.
