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.

Thank you Cin. As usual your expertise is much appreciated ...
Thanks Snappy ... . We do our best ...
Had this lovely colourful moth fly to my bay window, been there about two hours now catching the warmth of the intermittent sun ... suppose it's too much to hope it'll spread those wings... no luck this time, it's just flown!!

Lovely. Lucky you. Never seen one
Thanks Mr Kes, been about three or four years since I last had a visit from one!
Very nice visitor Wendy

A Jersey Tiger Moth I believe. I saw one once while on holiday, it was in Devon or thereabout. Great shot ...
Thanks Linda x
That's the one BD! Shame I didn't manage to get all the antennae in due to cam- shake ... better luck next time!
That's a beauty Wendy, what a pretty moth
