We all see various other critters as we're out and about looking at butterflies, some of these I like to get pictures of and identify if I can. Here are some spiders that I came across last year. Seen at Mill Hill in May, it was the colour of this spider that first caught my eye, white but clearly n...

Hi Paul, that's great! Thank you.

Cheers Wurzel! Yes, it's good to see they can thrive in different habitats.

Thanks David, I was very taken with the SSB's. It was easy to get close to see those lovely colours.

Well I still have various 2018 pics to put up, here are some from my Silver-studded Blue encounters in June. This is a butterfly I had previously seen very little of, and I wanted to put that right. Having been very impressed with Pauline's photos and reports, I decided to give Bramshott Common in E...

Some fantastic images, well done everyone. Thanks to Pete and the judges.

Cheers

Fantastic roundup Bugboy, excellent work. Great Wagtail shots.

Cheers

Great shots of the Sparrow Hawk Goldie. I don't think I've ever seen one.

Agree with Goldie! That sounds so nice Wurzel, great shots of those lovely butterflies.

Cheers

You've picked out some lovely looking moths there Neil. Very nice.

Cheers

Great fungi selections Ernie, very interesting. I like some of the names as well.

Love Woody!

Great stuff Trevor. The Emperors were certainly a huge highlight for me this year, made all the better by seeing them with yourself and others.

Cheers

Absolutely fantastic selections from France Mike! What a beautiful range of species, and all very well captured.

Cheers

Very much enjoyed your recent local reports Dave. Particularly of course those fantastic Holly Blues.
I was waiting for those, and you didn't let me down!

Cheers

Cheers Wurzel. It does doesn't it ? A new experience for me this year. :D Thanks Dave, Mike & Mike. Still being a relative newbie, I don't think I quite appreciated how uncommon a sight it was! Cheers guys. :D Yes most seem not have them. Thanks David, very interesting. :D Cheers Bugboy, fingers...

For one reason or another I never got a good look at the last round of Adonis Blues. So here are some shots from May/June that I didn't get around to posting at the time. I noticed how some males have a row of black spots along the edge of the hindwing, and some don't. Like these from Mill Hill. 1.j...

The open wing Brown Hairstreak and backlit Clouded Yellow are my faves James. But they are all really good!

Cheers

Beautiful Commas and Red Admirals from your local patch Dave. Some great shots of the Cloudies as well.

Lovely PL Trevor, the same one I saw on Sunday I reckon. Southwick has been a new site for me this year, with 3 visits so far. What a great place.

Very nice Katrina. I would say it's the same Comma I saw there on Sunday, but reading BB's comment maybe not! Hemp Agrimony corner really has been providing some wonderful up close views.

Love the Commas Mike, those unexpected finds are great.

Cheers

Excellent Cloudie shots Bugboy, well done.
