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
Hazel in Southwest France

Paul A said:No photo's, but we had our first ever Comma in the garden yesterday. :-) Mrs A spotted it when I was at work, I've never seen one.!! :-(
Well done Mrs A and congrats on your first Comma butterfly in the garden; always makes me wonder what we miss.
Paul A said:On a slightly different subject, to even things up on a day of firsts for us, I got pecked by a Magpie.!! :-)
Lol Paul !! it was sent by Mrs A to tell you to stop staring into space with your cuppa in hand and get on with the garden work !

Looks a good call to me Wendy.
Had this beauty in a tomato recently, tucking in happily. I put it & the tomato back in the garden. It's a Scarce Bordered Straw
