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

PB and Lens may well be right Linda, what a lovely visitor to have ... the caterpillar of the species is a bit of a wierdo though!

Oh be jeez that's one ugly weird looking thing
Nice one BD, great to have a butterfly on it so quickly.
You did well to spot it Linda, it is well camouflaged.
