Any idea who these will be grow up to be? We were out walking Cody and my husband spotted them along the fence line. There were dozens of them. It looks as though they're made of little bits of leaves and grass. #Entomology #Lepidopterology #insects #butterflies #moth

We literally have dozens of Vanessa atalanta in our back yard at the moment, fattening up before they migrate for the winter.
Right now they can be mostly found on fruit of the Prunus laurocerasus, and will then move to the flowers of the Hedera helix.

Still lots of insects around. I saw butterflies, bees, wasps, hornets, hoverflies, and I think the small one on the photo is some sort of fly.

Macrothylacia rubi (fox moth, veelvraat) caterpillar spotted on the #Loenermark

Caterpillar of Proserpinus proserpina (willowherb hawkmoth , teunisbloempijlstaart). Their Dutch name is named after one of their preferred feed plants, the evening primrose.
They are rare in NL, but we have them in our garden almost every year 🥰

Quite a rarity in NL, but I'm glad they come back to our garden every year 🥰 (Argynnis paphia, silver-washed fritillary, keizersmantel). Here it's sitting on a white Buddleia (butterfly bush, vlinderstruik).

A few butterflies I saw during my #mountainbiking ride this morning: Lycaena phlaeas (small/common copper, kleine vuurvlinder) and Adscita statices (green forester, metaalvlinder).
Also saw some caterpillars of Tyria jacobaeae (cinnabar moth, Sint-Jacobsvlinder).

Butterfly of unknown species because I don't know anything about bugs. Photo curiosity of my cousin.
