2018 BUTTERFLY & MOTHS IMAGES

Loads of Speckled Woods about on Wednesday on the brambles alongside a local copse, but I only had my phone to take pics.



Went back today with a camera to try a get a pic of them next to a colourful cluster of blackberries, but all I could find was a tatty one resting on the grass down in the shade.

 

My first Butterfly this year other an Whites

You think lifes hard

 

Sorry, I think that must be one of last year's

 

Only a couple Speckled Woods about yesterday afternoon, and only one settled, in a dark corner but lit by a small ray of sunlight

 

That looks like a beach, not a wood

 

A not particularly clear shot of a Clouded Yellow, the first I've seen(and probably the last) this year.

 

I didn't expect to see any Butterflies in January on Madeira but there were lots Monarchs around and for once I have seen them settled and feeding!






Clouded Yellow.


Short Tailed Blue.

 

Very nice pictures Strongylodon, i do like the Shot tailed blue

 

A couple of a hawk moth from last year.

The background isn't great but that's where it landed. Taken with my phone so quality isn't the best
