Good morning. Painted Lady #Butterfly on Sea Aster yesterday. Sea Aster, has gained popularity as a gourmet food, with its young, edible leaves and stems being collected. The Painted Lady is known for its flight speed, reaching speeds up to 20 miles per hour. #ColorADay #YellowThu #EastCoastKin

No idea of ID or what exactly is occurring.

Caterpillar of the Large White Butterfly, Pieris brassicae on Honesty leaves. I’ve been wondering what plants to add for them too! #Butterflies #WildSpaces #Gardening #NaturGarten

Record count of 60 Peacocks in Purbeck Bunkers ydy, but c30 were dead, eaten by bats! So they went into hibernation early and got munched! Grills have recently been put over entrances to protect the bats and this has clearly encouraged them! @malcolmhull.bsky.social @dorsetbutterflies.bsky.social

New garden visitor this year Yellow-clubbed Glasswing, Scaeva selenitica I think? Laying eggs on a Hazel plant

Cerceris species Wasp visiting Fennel/Foeniculum vulgare #NaturGarten #WildSpaces #Gardening

I've potentially found a bee new to Britain today, but there are several options & a specimen would be needed to a) confirm which it is and b) be a voucher for a new species. I thought it might be Pseudanthidium nanum, but apparently it is more likely to be Stelis signata or Anthidiellum strigatum

Mottled Beauty Moth I think? #MothSquad
