It's well overdue for starting. This is the link to last years thread
Butterflies and Moths 2023
There haven't been a lot of butterflies around here this year so far. The earliest was a fresh Red Admiral on the 3rd of january
Since then I've seen a Speckled Wood & Peacock. There have been Brimstone's about but I haven't seen them. Plenty of time left in the year to go chasing butterflies.
Best wishes

That's cool. It looks like it's made out of material ...
Thanks Linda

I would go for Nettle-tap moth too. I took one yesterday and Google lens said it was, and it looked just like yours ...
Thanks Wendy, yes that looks good to me.
Thanks BD, yes I agree
Very nice SnappyMac!
