Fortunate to witness an astonishing spectacle at the beach tonight: tens of thousands of (mainly Small) white butterflies pouring in over the sea, as far as you could see. Pulses of butterflies swept in-off everywhere, an extraordinary sight.

@stevenash71.bsky.social Hi Steve, caught Catocala nymphaea last night. It’s taken me, Paul and Phil this long to be confident of the id. Photos are poor camera shots, one of it in the trap.
As you can imagine, I’m one happy chap.

What a perfect snout, apart from the slightly rubbed thorax. Beautiful.
