Here's one for Greenwings #Leptember, a butterfly from Cambodia. And I confess to an ulterior motive in posting this - I don't actually know what this butterfly is so I'm hoping someone can identify it for me. 😉🤞💚

It’s #InsectThursday! Let’s see some butterfly captures 📸🦋 Speckled wood ........ I'm not saying another word 😳😊 #insects #nature #wildlife #butterflies #Leptember

Yay! Up to 100 followers on my new account. Only another 6000ish to go & I'll be back where I was! 🙃 Anyway, thanks to anyone who thinks I am worth cluttering their timelines with. Have a goat face on me! 🐐 It's from an Oleander Hawk-moth btw.

It's #Leptember! Time to take a look at moths (aka bat snacks). Many moth species rely on native trees, shrubs & grasses in their larval stage. Planting native plants supports the bottom of the food chain & this helps all of the aerial insectivores , both birds & bats!

Womble Orchid - aka Ophrys lucis I kind of wish it was from Bulgaria so I could further the womble reference (yes Uncle Bulgaria!) but it's a local one close to home here in Rhodes, Greece. #OrchidsOfRhodes

Good morning! Another day & another chance to share Lepidoptera love during #Leptember Here is Danaus Chrysippus - Plain Tiger or African Monarch or even The Sultan if you prefer! Image here to show male/female difference - it's all in the hindwing spot basically!

Greenwings BC Europe 2 endemics from a holiday in ☀️Tenerife, Canary Red Admiral - Vanessa vulcania & Canary Large White - Pieris cheiranthi

How about some action shots for #Leptember today? Flying, feeding, fighting even! This amazing flight sequence was taken by talented photographer Andrew Fusek Peters on one of our Norfolk Broads trips & features the endemic UK race of the Swallowtail (Papilio machaon ssp. britannicus).

Good morning from a sunny & flower-filled South Africa! Next trip there in November is going to be all about the orchids, so less of the abundance of spring flowers, but special & amazing they will be in equal measure!

Strong migration of Red Admiral (Vanessa atalanta) this morning as picked up on a bird migration site near the coast in SW NL. 4033 Red Admirals in 4.35h, so almost 15 per minute. trektellen.org/count/view/11/…

With an unprecedented 20+ sightings of Oleander hawk moth caterpillars in Belgium, I couldn't resist go and see a few that were found nearby. #insectmigration #mothsmatter

I think this is a mallow skipper. Northern Greece this spring. #Leptember

A bit of an action shot here, for #Leptember -- three Viceroys, one on his way to a less crowded spot

The inspiration for our Greenwings name & logo came from the Green Hairstreak. It's a stunning little jewel & will always be special. But how about these 2 greenwings? Kaiser-I-Hind & Paris Peacock. Taken on our Thailand tour this year by our friend & client John K. #Leptember

Is there a more beautiful butterfly in the world than the Peacock? I don't think so. #Leptember

Red Admirals are on migration into the UK at the moment. Will any of these beauties be found among the crowd though!? Camberwell Beauty aka Mourning Cloak (Nymphalis antiopa). Keep your eyes peeled & do share sightings! Red Admirals & any other Leps too of course! #Leptember
