Hi, All.
A small copper likes the same plant even with other flowers around. I go to this Ragwort and it's there, today it had a mate.

Hi, deviator. Warmth is just what the butterflies don't need in the winter.They should be hibernating. Find a cool dry dark place outside to place them in if you are able to pick them up, but gently does it. I come across a few assorted ones whilst cutting up timber stored in a plastic tunnel. If yo...

On Ivy flowers as well.

Hi, Everyone. Not the easiest critter to get a good photo of for sure.

Hi, everyone.
You learn something new everyday, Holly Blue laying eggs on Ivy.

Hi, everyone.
Another collage with some new and some old friends.
Could not get the Brimstone with open wings.
Hoverfly was big thought it was a wasp at first.
Beetle. Hope its not a Colorado beetle.
The Blue one on the Ivy leaf is near Holly so hope not the same as other Blues. .

Hi, Pete.
Thanks for your ids. All butterflies posted this year so far have been found on my few acres of grass.

First and only one I've seen this year so far.

Hi, MikeOxon.

Thanks for id. First time I have noticed this moth, so lucky find.

Hi, Everyone.
Colourful none the less.

Hi, everyone.
New find. This year at my place.

Hi, everyone. Skippers same critter. But is it Essex as before. Not many about now compared to a week or so ago. Common Blues about now with a few Argus Browns.

Thanks Neil. That's one more to tick off of my list.
Just missed snapping a Marble White and a Blue butterfly today as well.

Hi. All.
Was not able to pick the last few cherries. This is not a Queen wasp of our native species.

Well Today 15th July 2015 I have managed to snap loads in our field of only and few acres, after seeing some a few days earli...

Photo taking a few years ago and I have forgotten what this is.

Funny I've just seen cjackson two clouded yellows thread and it was the flash of orange that got me chasing after this one.
I might add it was in Gloucestershire uk.

Hi, All. Spotted this whilst mowing the grass on a warm windy day, 19th Oct, 2014 Thought it looked out of place and realised it was not a normal white butterfly. This photo is the best I could do. Hope you think it is a Clouded Yellow as I have not seen one of these before. 1-WP_20141019_004-001.jpg
