Look out for the spectacular Ruby Tiger (Phragmatobia fuliginosa) this month 🐯 This small, chunky tiger moth regularly appears in garden moth traps and can be seen during the day as well as at night. 📸: Rachel Scopes, Rob Blanken, Ivan Lynas #MothMonday #MothsMatter #TeamMoth

Holly Blues are now on the wing in both Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire, having been sighted on 31st March and 2nd April respectively. These gorgeous pictures from @dbminshall.bsky.social show off the stunning two-tone blue and their delicate little fuzz perfectly!

Looking like one of the best Springs in recent years but we can only be sure if you record the butterflies seen. We encourage the use of iRecord, an app you can download to your phone. Its free and simple to use. Do give it a try & thanks if you already use it @savebutterflies.bsky.social
