RED ADMIRAL
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2009 8:04 am
Have just joined this interesting site and am very new to the art of spotting different butterflies.
I took a photo of the Red Admiral on 9/3/2009 at 15:14:01. The Fratillery I missed. Is this early for these butterflies?
Also, am on the look-out for the Peacock in a country Lane. I know they must use this lane as I saw some hovering about there last August, where the stinging nettles grew. I would like to see some grubs soon and take them home to preserve them from the birds and so will have a chance to survive.
I know these are moths but I am waiting for three Elephant Hawk moths to emerge later on. Have got them in a special box where they have hibernated for the winter
