    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    That first one is beautiful. What a lovely set of pix Jacqueline  :)
    Only had a couple of cabbage whites and a little tortie, which was in recently. Usually a bit later for butterflies here.
    I saw a yellow underwing moth last night when I was outside. Get me nut - I'm admiring moths now  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    From the top:
    Jersey tiger moth
    Large white (I think)
    Speckled wood
    Small white or maybe a green veined, hard to tell.
    Small tortoiseshell
