Meadow brown butterfly with a mite on Wolstonbury Hill

This female Meadow brown butterfly was photographed on 31st August 2011.  It is looking a bit tatty but that is just one of its problems.  Click on the picture to expand it and you can see a red blob; it is a mite attached to and feeding on its body.
