Saw a painted lady butterfly yesterday at the garden centre, quite late in the year for it, I thought.
Also, when I was bringing in the nest boxes for the winter cleaning I found a Svenssons copper underwing moth Amphipyra berbera hiding behind one of them. I could see the copper underwing showing ( I didnt see the underwing on the last one I found) and I knew to look at the palps (its face) to ID it from the copper underwing Amphipyra pyramidea.
