Butterflies and Moths 2023

The sun has brought out the butterflies in the garden where I'm staying.

Gatekeeper

Very flighty Common Blue male

Common Blue female {I think) - similar looking to a Brown Argus. Corrected to Brown Argus female. Thanks SM

Nice pictures TJ. The last looks like a Female Brown Argus to me with the regular Orange patten all the way around and no blue tinge in the middle. But I am often getting it wrong... :)

You could be right .......I haven't got my butterfly book with me.

What a lovely Orange Swift, Linda.

Good to' see 'you TJ, sorry to hear you have had health issues - you have been missed

No, been mostly off grid for the month with the bear on the mainland - just home today - will put the trap out tomorrow as there should be some interesting things on the wing with the warm spell - lots of Red Underwing reports coming in.

Oh look forward to seeing what you find ;-)

New game - instead of  'Spot the Ball ' I bring you 'Spot the Brimstone' 

Lol! Yeah that could be a reason.

Very nice
