3 days of sunshine & Butterflies galore. Well, not really but we did see 3 Brimstones a Red Admiral & a Peacock. I did get a shot of the Brimstone flying, but I think trying to photograph Butterflies in flight is one of the first signs of madness. Anyway, it's high time I started this thread.
This is the link to last years thread https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/196195/beautiful-butterflies-2018/1219455#1219455

Not sure D ... Peacock larvae are liberally dotted with white spots & don't have that brown band between head & body that I know of ... there are 31 species of moth & butterfly larvae that feed on stinging nettles ... maybe H can ID?

This is probably a Common Blue - but was happy to see it
Lot to learn
