2019 BUTTERFLY and MOTH IMAGES..

Brimstone.


Peacock.

 

Peacock outside the bird hide at a local reserve earlier a few weeks ago (got bored because there wasn't many birds), taken from over 2m away




There's loads of Orange Tips about at the moment, but not settling, same with the smaller amount of Brimstones, a few Small Tortoiseshells are about and one settled on the ground right in front of me as I turned my camera on, but Mrs Scrungee let our dog pull towards it

But quite a few Speckled Woods are now appearing, with the occasional one settling on the Bramble leaves beside a spinney about 5 mins walk from home

 

Walking down the same local path as yesterday saw about 30 Orange Tips, 20'ish Speckled Woods, 2 Large Whites, 1 Brimstone and 1 Red Admiral.

Once again, only the Speckled Woods were settling

 

Green-veined White



Yet another Speckled Wood

 

I've not seen a Green Veined White yet!

Could be Oak Eggar first choice

Garden Tiger just a possibility

As usual i could be wrong !!

A pair of scarlet tiger moths were flying around the house in Hereford yesterday, causing much excitement!
