Now you see the big caterpillar, now you don't! Found this Yellow Underwing moth caterpillar crossing the path so brought it in my Butterfly Farm & popped it in the jar with soil. It buried itself straight away (see video clip - sped up) to make its chrysalis & cocoon. πŸ¦‹

Here she is, the first and only Orange Tip Butterfly that I've looked after for '10 months' from an egg laid in my garden last year. Last year was a bad year for #butterflies - hopefully I'll have more to look after this year. Isn't she adorable! πŸ₯šπŸ›πŸ₯πŸ¦‹ #Lepidopterist #conservation

A super #cute Essex Skipper #Butterfly in my #garden Summer a few years ago. You can tell the difference between Essex & Small Skippers by their antennae. The Essex Skipper has black tips on them but the Small Skipper has orange. πŸ¦‹ #Butterflies #gardens
