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

Teeny weeeny pal will do for me
Lovely stuff Snappy. Lucky you ...
I had a titchy insect on my arm yesterday ... It bit me ...
Could someone please confirm ID, I think its a Ringlet but never saw the wing tops but can see rings through wing pattern, thanks.
Taken at RSPB Miinsmere a couple of days ago.
Looks good to me Tony
Thanks PB, trust all s well in your neck of the woods, sat watching the rain and catching up with photos from the past 9 months, loads to delete
Yes. It's a Ringlet Tony ...
Nothing that a week without rain wouldn't fix Tony (or even a couple of consecutive days!) Hope you're well
