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

Superb photos folks, my favs must go to tiger moth Germaine, and Paul A, lovely pic of the stonechat with moth.
While up on some moors last Friday, I saw quite a few small copper butterflies, among a few others,that didn't hang around for me to ID, let alone take a piccie!

Teeny micro moth, 8mm, rescued from my bathroom
The detail on these tiddlers always amazes me ... pics do-able when only one at a time? Lol
Looks like this one to me https://britishlepidoptera.weebly.com/138-cochylis-molliculana-ox-tongue-conch.html Cochylis molliculana
Another moth I think but no idea of its ID, found on our newly painted garage front in the shade. (2.5 days, 20 litres of paint using a fully extended ladder ) What a difference a hip replacement made getting up & down the ladder.
