Nice to see a couple of Clouded Yellows on the wing today along the edge of Pembrey Forest. Thanks to an extremely hot summer I’ve seen more this year than I have in the past twenty, by a factor of at least four! #insects #nature #wildlife #UKWildlife #photography #bugsky #UKButterflies #butterflies

Yes!! After dipping the past couple of years we finally found the Purple Hairstreaks this evening. Despite very dull conditions there were numerous individuals flying around the young Oaks on Mynydd Lliw. Lifer. #insects #nature #wildlife #UKWildlife #photography #bugsky #UKButterflies #butterflies

Just a couple of Large Skippers on the wing yesterday evening, which to be honest was more than I was expecting given the conditions. #insects #nature #wildlife #UKWildlife #photography #bugsky #UKButterflies #butterflies

Another Peacock #butterfly. Photo opportunities in the spring and summer are greatly missed. I may have to do some birding. Since photographing insects in the garden has satisfied my desire to capture nature, I have not done any this year.

Great views of Clouded Yellow at Mynydd Lliw again this eve, although once more they refused to settle for my camera. Much more accommodating was this rather lovely Small Copper. #insects #nature #wildlife #UKWildlife #photography #bugsky #UKButterflies #butterflies @savebutterflies.bsky.social

Whilst on the subject of Skippers, Mynydd Lliw held both Small (left) and Large (right) varieties on Sunday, though my search for an Essex continues. #insects #nature #wildlife #UKWildlife #photography #bugsky #UKButterflies #butterflies @savebutterflies.bsky.social
