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

Thanks Wendy, looks like it could be.
I photographed this because of the amazing head gear. Surprised to find out it's a moth.
Green Longhorn (Adela reaumurella) - Moth from Google:
Great capture SM, quite difficult to get it's superlong antennae in shot!

Very interesting find SnappyMac
A few butterflies captured on a morning the other day when the sun came out for about 30 minutes.
Nicely captured Mr Kes. I haven't seen any yet around here. Too damn cold ...
Nice Mr Kes. I am struggling to find many at the moment...
This wet cold April isn’t helping. The my fruit trees seem to be blooming well this year. I think they like all the rain
Had some sun yesterday. Butterflies came down from the treetops.
How lovely, lucky you Mr Kes
