The males are seriously faded and torn now, and are active for only a couple of hours or so, from about 1pm, on territory. I witnessed a clash of three males.
Neil and I watched an exhausted female visit a sap run, then collapse on to the nearest sallow. I doubt she'll make tomorrow -
Meanwhile, these girls were getting tanked up on a sap bleed alongside a Comma -
Purple Emperor season without end, Amen!
PS We didn't get any rain, again; and the Brown Hairstreak remains surprisingly scarce.
