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

It was a first for me too BD
This is my new Budleia. It is a miniature patio version that only grows 80cms high and 80cms wide. It is called 'Butterfly Candy Little Ruby'. I bought it because it is a lovely colour, and because my mum was called Ruby ... . It seems to be working OK.
Very nice BD
Lovely to see you have a butterfly BD and a lovely Ruby Buddleia

A new moth for you lovely folk to ID for me please ...thanks in advance
I see you're showing off how big your castle is Linda, with those massive bricks and shovels-full of mortar surrounding the 2 foot long moth!! Google Lens says Cerura erminea
