December moth and May butterfly
The first December Moth - Poecilocampa populi - for 2009. I suppose phenology has changed a bit since these were first named.
This is another first: the first of my garden Large White butterfly larvae that has survived to pupate. Of the 8 larvae that I have observed, 7 were parasitised. Now that's population control.
Four more have arrived, and we'll see what the final tally is.
