Large Skipper, I think.

 

First Marbled White I have seen this year. In the cool damp cloudy weather I was surprise to see anything!


Common Blue.


Six Spot Burnet Moth.

 

Thanks for the picture of Marbled White Strongylodon as we have seen about 14 this year but they don't stay still for long and i thought the ones we were seeing were Swallow Tails but now seeing your picture i think there Marbled Whites

 

@Jiffy unless introduced illegally, the only place in the UK you are likely to see Swallowtails is around the Norfolk Broads and a couple of other sites in East Anglia. On very few occassions the continental species (of which our is a subspecies) has been seen on the South coast.

 

Thank you Strongylodon
I only thought there were Swallowtails as there were the only close match in my book, the marble white isn't in my book, but when you posted the picture of the Marble White that were the ones we seen, because of the wet wether the landowers haven't cut there grass and there are lots of them about and lots of Meadow Browms

 

This moth landed on the decking today.

 

Small Heath.


Grayling first this year but as usual wings are always closed on landing.


Female Common Blue.
