An oddly Painted Lady

A late afternoon walk on the Purbeck coast today was rewarded handsomely with a very rare - and beautiful - aberrant form of Painted Lady, known as Rogeri. Thanks Mike Gibbons for help with the ID - not for the first time this year I was floundering! Regular Painted Ladies were also on the wing - see final photo for comparison.
