Butterfly And Caterpillar Corner

Not Garden Tiger, Jiffy, get your eye tested, in your book it's the one above that one

Yep your right, that Jiffy bloke was looking at the wrong name in the book, I'm sorry to miss lead you it's the age thing you know

 

@Jiffy Took me a while to work out you were talking about yourself there! Much longer than you'd expect I was going to ask you whether you realised that you quoted and commented on your own comment

And yeh thanks for that.... I looked at pics of the Garden Tiger and was pretty excited! They're really colourful! Now I know that I've got Vapourer moths growing in the door. That's not quite as interesting Hopefully they won't eat the curtains!

Don't worry about misleading me... no harm done

 

Ohhhh I've had a few male moths fluttering around the window! Perhaps they're trying to find the females?

My Fiancee is an insectophobe so I might not mention this to her otherwise she'll end up getting the vacuum out and getting rid of them. Putting them in a jar sounds like an great idea... I wont move the wooly cocoons but might see if any free roaming ones can be caught. Will keep you posted!

Sorry for highjacking the thread btw

UPDATE: The fiancee has pulled some faces after seeing what I was up to and has turned a funny shade of green.

 

looks like this "Yellow butterfly" had an injury. He was sitting in my Honeysuckle vine this morning.

 

Brown Argus (a rubbishy shot because I could only get a pic by pushing my hand+camera through some vegetation, pointing it downwards, pressing the shutter and hoping for the best).


Veined White



Gatekeeper (lots about ATM)


Skipper


Ringlets

 

Found this on my Mirabilis, that I still have in the garage, look at my messy table(or don't)
My own Elephant Hawk Moth.

 

Holly Blue (too busy watering at my plot to go wandering off with camera, but this one alighted on the hedge beside me as I was going through the gate).

 

Lovely shot @Scrungee

I love EHM @liliana especially the caterpillars ...
You're slacking a bit with that table though

 

Common Blue (shame about the shadow, but it's all I got after chasing 6 or so of them around in the hot sun for about 30 minutes and decided I'd better get back to watering).

 

Nice picture though Scrungee. The butterfly looks like it's been sprinkled with blue powder paint.

 

Common Blue (again, but at a different site and a side view this time):
