Hi A great start, although a little out of focus next step is to identify the subject and its parasites I started with this and ended up identifying it with this Spanish Gate keeper Pyronia bathseba but I am not in the uk Grumpy P6180092 Large by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr P1010072 by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr

I have tried a few closeup/macro shots and I know how difficult they are; if having a depth of field measured in a few millimetres wasn't bad enough, the critters have a habit of leaving at the crucial time.
I think the butterfly is a meadow brown (Maniola jurtina)

Never seen a Meadow Brown look like that! It is as suggested by OP a Spanish Gatekeeper.

I'm sure most of us (or maybe it's just me!) end up with far more out of focus shots than gooduns. The answer is to just keep taking loads of them and occasionally you'll get a gem of an image. I just wish I'd invested in a camera with the option to turn off the auto focus.

I agree, especially when photographing wildlife, the subject tends to move exactly the moment you press the shutter, but you do get some great shots if you keep trying and then it's worth all the effort Shirl

Nice bit of photography - not sure I know how to feel like a butterfly though
