Nice images. What do you mean by "lifers"? I'm not familiar with that term.

Nicely done, I especially like the flutterby on the ground... sort of like he's just out for a morning stroll.

First time i have seen a species in my life. usually more commonly used by Birders to describe a new species on their lifelist

Beautiful little butterfly. Do they know why they are in decline?

I believe because of Habitat loss and pesticide use.
