Purple and Lesser Purple Emperor, Russia, Ukki, St Petersburg 16th Jul 15
There is often a small projection in the white of the upperwing on LPE causing confusion but the bright orange tip to the antennaa is a reliable separating feature. The underwing is more easily separable.
Top and bottom left are Purple Emperor.
