Up to 2000 the Queen of Spain Fritillary (Issoria lathonia) was a coastal species (plus some wanderers inland), now it is moving north inland and has already colonised more than half of NL.

If anyone can confirm the ID of this bee from the garden this aft it would bee much appreciated. My wild stab in the dark is Buffish Mining Bee - Andrena nigroaenea, but happy to stand corrected. Cheers 👍

Tree planting is important, but it must not destroy much rarer, valuable habitats. This wildflower-rich grassland in Cumbria has been planted without thought to the Butterfly Orchids, Betony, Scabious, Restharrow, Harebell and assoc'd biodiversity.
Please RT to raise awareness!

My mum saw a pristine hummingbird hawkmoth in her garden in Sheringham, Norfolk, today, feeding on winter jasmine, alongside two bumblebees. Lovely. But crazy early! Any other early sightings @RichardFoxBC @BC_Norfolk? Is a Feb 5th sighting a sign of impending apocalypse?!

Can now share my Long-tailed Blue and Clouded Yellow pictures from October, they were embargoed until today until the Surrey BC AGM, but now all my followers can enjoy. Great pictures to end 2019 on.
