Sure is, Janet; a real beauty. Painted Ladies are going to be pretty common this summer judging by how many there are currently in the SW of France.

Love the contrast between the nattily attired Green-veined White and the tatty old Brimstone Spot on with the Moff ID I'd say

Working in Birch Moss Covert today, clearing the bracken from the heather patch and disturbed this lovely Brown Silverline
Re: Janet Turnbull
That's quite a striking moth, Janet. I'm sure I've never seen one of those before.

Re: Janet Turnbull
Working on the edge of Carrington Moss yesterday. Warm and sunny, causing the butterflies to wake up. I only had my phone with me so the photos are poor, but managed to get the Comma and one of the 3 Brimstones.
The Brimstone had unusual dark marks on his wings.Re: Janet Turnbull
Nice to see that you got a butterfly shaped reward for you hard work Janet I reckon those dark marks could be some sort of damage it picked up whilst hibernating? Any shots of Brimstone at this time of year are pretty great - they're much more flighty/harder work in the spring

Re: Janet Turnbull
What a pleasant surprise, Janet. Not been too many Commas reported (they continue to elude me this year and may well carry on doing so into April) so especially well done with that one.
Re: Janet Turnbull
Congrats from me too Janet. Four butterflies in one day must be
something of a record for the Spring so far this year.
Like David, no Commas seen around here yet.
All the best,
Trevor.
