| Great banner! Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. |

Thanks to everyone for all the thumbs and a special thanks to @mellielong and @jmorth for the  @Fleur569 the body of this butterfly, Common Blue (Polyommatus Icarus), isn't actually white. Here is the original photo plus a better one showing the underside of the wings and another showing the top. This is a female.    |
