Good evening. Could any of you butterfly experts identify this beauty please ? It was basking in the sunshine yesterday in Cornwall. I have tried to "Google "it but have failed !!. Thanks in anticipation.

    They are very much in evidence round here in South Wales, lovely markings, look out for Orange Tip butterflies too.
