Dear deviantart member
We have used your work for a feature at club, we hope you don’t mind, if you do we can remove your work from the feature
Feature November 2018Its been a very long time since we did a feature as of late, (coughcough)
Unfortunately, life gets a hold and I can only apologise about that
So, I thought let’s put some action into The club by doing a feature
So, behold below, great work from the community, check them out and help by leaving a fave at least
Thank you all Lisa :iconLSouthern:

Thank you. As always, getting a cooperative individual on a reasonable background is largely a matter of luck but so pleasing when it happens.

Aw, that's a shame! I've just been out for a walk this morning and spotted four different species. I took some photos but haven't checked them out yet. We're getting to the end of the season here now as Autumn begins to set in.

Great closeup - I love the soothing colours. I'm curious: how can you know it's a female?

Thank you. The males are usually bluer than females on the underside.
