Butterflies

I saw a gorgeous sulphur yellow Brimstone butterfly in the sunshine this morning

Shall we have a butterfly thread?

Good idea Dove, lots of brimstones today, a few small tortoiseshells and a couple of peacocks.
Might do a moth trap this week, can they share your butterfly thread please?
Oh yes please! We're big fans of moths too
Very high species count here Dove. Some real beauties amongst them
Here's a picture of a moth I spotted the other day - was trying to fly but one back leg damaged so I managed to get a photo
Beautiful moth though
I'm afraid I don't know what we saw yesterday, but there were two or three different kinds - they move faster than either my eyes or my brain these days!!
General colours Bookertoo? Yellow or orange at this time of year = brimstones or tortoiseshells
i saw a peacocl and red admiral today in the garden.. lovely to see.
Gardengirl, I think your moth is one of these
