Well it's time to start a new thread for this year. I saw my 1st Red Admiral of the year yesterday & have had a couple of moths in the house & in the trap overnight.
The house moths come out of the firewood (I think), Ive had 3 around the computer this month, I just keep putting them back out Mompha subbistrigella
Photo taken of it in the plastic pot before I threw it out.
Then in the trap a couple of moths, Eudonia angustea, always around in the winter,
& this one which is several weeks early, not sure why, Orthosia incerta "Clouded Drab Moth"
Last years thread is here https://community.rspb.org.uk/wildlife/f/all-creatures/206393/butterflies-moths-2020 for those that want to have a bit of bedtime reading.
Best wishes
Hazel in Southwest France

Hi all again.... is this a small skipper? (looks to "stout", or "stumpy")... seen in Sussex this week...
And also, hopefully... my first Silver Washed Fritillary?
Thanks in advance :o)
Could someone please help with an ID for this caterpillar found having virtually stripped the plant it was on which unfortunately we cant name.
Many thanks.
