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 🥰

My lepidoptery season began properly yesterday with the sighting of three species of butterfly in one day. Here’s one of them, one of a pair of two speckled woods flitting in pools of warm spring sunshine in Fairy Glen.

On my walk #today I headed for a hedge-lined lane where I knew there would be sun-traps. I thought I might see the first #butterfly this year, drawn by the warmth. Sure enough! Pararge Aegeria - a Speckled Wood - flitting in and out of the hedge. I managed a hasty blurred shot of it when it landed briefly in the undergrowth. #SpeckledWood #butterflies #SaveButterflies #ButterflyConservation #lepidoptery

I suspect this Small Tortoiseshell has been around the block quite a while. #today after days of wind and rain, it settled on a wall warmed by the sun, seeming not to have strength to take off while I moved in very close. The last survivor of Aglais urticae this season, I suspect

Few butterflies #InMyGarden this week - the changeable temperature & rain showers that the start of autumn has brought has meant just brief appearances from a few whites, and this bright Red Admiral taking advantage of a sunny spell to feed

Probably my fav moth seen #InMyGarden - though rare - is the Gold Spot. I’m looking out for it as September approaches. I did get a pic of one last year, as you see. It has a great name. Plusia festucae - presumably bec it looks like a rich jewel (as in Greek ‘plousios’, rich) & likes a habitat of tufted-grass (festuca).
It also likes damp habitats, exactly as my garden is now after weeks of rainy days. 🌧️#moths #lepidoptery #GoldSpotMoth #GayGardener #MothsOfMastodon #macro #macroPhotography

The garden has been buzzing this week since we got back from holiday. Bees buzzing in great numbers of course. But more butterflies than we’ve seen all the year. Especially numerous are Red Admirals almost dancing in flight!

It’s been a wonderful couple of days butterfly spotting #InMyGarden with nine different species visiting us. Newest arrivals are Pararge Aegeria - Speckled Wood - flitting in and out of the shade. And my favourite Pyronia tithonus - the Gatekeeper - with its double eyespots patrolling the hedges in the firey heat of the summer. Pyrotechnic…

I’d love to know for sure what this extraterrestrial-like creature is. I think it’s either a white ermine or satin moth, but better lepidopterists than me might correct me. I took the poorer photo looking at the moth’s face and comb-like antennae yesterday - a difficult angle as it was sitting on the garage door. I took the other photo earlier of another example, sitting on the floor.

To celebrate the start of (meteorological) summer, this beautiful Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) has paid a visit to our neighbourhood
😍Its genus ‘Vanessa’ is a group of brush-footed butterflies. Like so many first classified & named by the entomologist Fabricius, ‘Atalanta’ is taken from ancient Greek mythology, a fleet-footed princess.

Mimas tiliae, the lime hawk-moth, is found in areas of deciduous woodland throughout much of the southern half of England. This one must have been lost though as it was in #Yorkshire
