What a beautiful moth spotted by Thomas in Wiltshire!

🦋🔍 Wow! 🤩 Today, I counted 16x Red Admirals nectaring in the warmth of the morning sun on the Ivy flowers at the bottom of my garden! …and this little guy on my verbena bonariensis 😊 Numbers up by 338% on last year. Sadly, this is due to climate change 🔥🌍🔥😢 #Lepidoptera
