Mistaken is my middle name. ![]() You put me onto looking at a number of websites to find more about the longhorns so your ID species led me to the one I found. So thank you for the effort. There is the possibility that both are wrong... I only took pictures because of the unusual colour and texture, and the mating was a bonus. kind regards |

Re: Communal Dragonfly, Butterfly and Insect photo thread
What an excellent colour choice. It really zings.
My ideas are to steam it gently with lots of butter and black pepper. But remove the caterpillar first ![]() |

![]() So in the cold light of day! Having had the chance to look at a few things and working on principle this was in the UK, and it is on presumably a type of brassica - so maybe a white? Of these the green veined white seems close, but, you may have other thoughts see here let me know if you have some other pictures, clues etc. |

The green caterpillar on the Lilac is probably Pieris rapae, the Small White.

There were a lot of "cabbage" whites flying about so that would be my thought too.

Re: Communal Dragonfly, Butterfly and Insect photo thread
1st of November and still seeing quite a few butterflies. Including a Comma, several Brimstones, a Red Admiral and this peacock which had an appealing shadow. Plus a few darters and a migrant hawker.

Re: Communal Dragonfly, Butterfly and Insect photo thread
Pleased to have both common and Essex Skippers in the garden this year. They can be awkward to tell apart by colour alone, the best diagnostic is the Essex Skipper has black tips to their antennae whereas the Common Skipper has orange to dark brown. All shots below bar one from the 60mm Macro.

Re: Communal Dragonfly, Butterfly and Insect photo thread
Antennae difference between the two, best shown head on as profile views can still be awkward.
