EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the enchanting world of Southwater Woods come alive as a magnificent Green-veined White butterfly takes center stage. With its delicate wings spread wide, it gracefully rests upon a vibrant leaf, showcasing the wonders of British wildlife. But what truly steals the show is the unexpected surprise adorning this elegant creature's proboscis – large pollen grains! It seems our little friend couldn't resist indulging in nature's sweet buffet and got caught with sticky evidence on its tongue-like appendage. As summer embraces West Sussex, England, these European beauties flutter through forests and woodlands like tiny ambassadors of joy. Their presence adds an ethereal touch to our temperate landscapes while reminding us of the intricate web connecting insects and plants. With every sip from nectar-filled flowers, these white-winged marvels inadvertently become pollinators themselves. And here we have proof - captured by talented photographer Dave Pressland - that even butterflies can't resist getting their tongues dirty! So let this image transport you into a whimsical realm where butterflies wear pollen badges proudly. Join us in celebrating the magical dance between flora and fauna that unfolds beneath Southwater Woods' emerald canopy – where even something as small as a grain of pollen can bring endless delight to both insects and humans alike.
