Hi All, I took an executive decision & decided to amalgamate the Butterfly & Moth threads which may make it easier to find if it's used more!
These are the old threads from 2019 Beautiful butterflies https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/200195/beautiful-butterflies-2019#pifragment-4285=1
& Mostly Moths https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/198118/mostly-moths-2019/1273216#pifragment-4285=1
To start us off here are a few from the recent traps & wine rope,
this is a lovely Satelite from the 8th january
Best wishes

Lot to learn
My neighbour just called me over to see a moth on her fence, can you id it for us please
You can see she had been watering, maybe it crawled up out of the way. Thanks in advance

Certainly very striking, didn't have an overwintering pupa to watch emerge this year ... boohoo!
I may send for some eggs to hatch & watch grow!
