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

Did you climb a ladder to photograph it, Sunflowers do grow pretty tall ...
Had my high heels on BD

Garden Carpet (I think) on the kitchen door, snapped with phone
Yep it is a Garden Carpet Moth, or it might be a Patterned Brownyfawnmoth ... . Great shot ...
I had to double check the ID after your suggestion, BD, but I'm pretty confident the Patterned Brownyfawnmoth is more fawny, brown and patterned.
Nice find PB.
When you walk outside and a butterfly almost hits you in the face but you only have your phone
Luckily it then stayed still as I got closer
Well caught Mrs Ed
