Marvellous! It's quite addictive isn't it? Don't think I'll be able to walk past any Honeysuckle now without looking

Hi,
Went to Bentley wood for a couple of hours this afternoon plenty of Pearls about and tens of Brimstone, this pearl stood out as being very pale, great condition though and an amazing green hue which the picture doesn't do justice. Is this normal variation? and also a couple of other interesting critters for note, help on the spider appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Went to Wrecclesham on the off chance and found these as a compensation for no Glanville's
Met up with Pauline for a WA Larvae hunt and came up with this one I found the other week but others were MIA or I am loosing it and could not find where I found them.
On Pauline's kind offer went back to take some pics of the Black Hairstreak
An whilst there, there was a new arrival
And when I arrived home found one of these Bruisers
So all in all a great afternoon beating any day at work
Thanks
Andy

I second that, I was out photographing them yesterday and I found several mating pairs, but all low down in the grass so I know how hard it is to get an image that good

Great shots Andy - I took some similar ones yesterday but tbh my little camera is struggling. Can't wait to see what you produce with your extension tubes.

Never thought I'd say this Andy but that's a great moth!

(the spectacle) and your photo shows it off so well. Wish I'd seen it - you seem to be single-handedly converting me!
