  1. A good year for Painted Ladies (Vanessa cardui) several having been spotted locally, having arrived with the heat waves to N Wales from southern climes. Gives me a thrill to welcome them 🥰

  2. Bit staggered to find a Silver-washed Fritallary (butterfly) in the back garden this afternoon. They are woodland species so quite what it's doing in the suburbs I don't know.

  3. another day, another butterfly! i haven't been lucky enough to see a common blue in my garden until now (although i thought i saw a flash of blue in the garden last week but it was gone before i could get a closer look, could have been this little lady!) 🦋

  4. today was a #bugs and birds day in the garden! i've been taking part in the #bigbutterflycount so it was great to see three species today - a red admiral, meadow brown, and a large white butterfly (which flew too quickly to get a decent picture of!) i also spotted a #forficula #earwig and a load of #bumblebees enjoying the clovers in the sun ☀️
