Back Garden Wildlife

In the back garden today a Red Admiral, 2 Small Tortoiseshells and 3 Large Whites on the Buddleia. Also a Light Brown Apple moth on the garden shed and a Drone Fly sunning himself on the patio chair. The nettles are providing to be a good food source for at least 5 Comma butterfly caterpillars and a few are now venturing onto the Blackberry leaves.

Red Admiral

The first for a few days, its been mainly Small Tortoiseshells, but today there were only two!

Large White, one of three on the Buddleia today

A Drone fly soaks up the sun on the patio chair

A Light Brown Apple moth

A bit of flash to brighten it up

A Comma butterfly caterpillar on the Blackberry bush.

I'm not sure if this is also its food plant

But this nettle certainly is.
