I had a painted lady butterfly yesterday but it disappeared when i went to get my phone for a photo.

[DannyK]

First time I've seen one like this. Released it outside.

DannyK We had a box tree moth here too a while ago,if you have box plants they might be interested,we don’t have any so it came in the house,I found it on the ceiling,it was in the same spot for ages maybe sleeping,I moved it outside with a glass & card in the evening

[Containergardener]

Oh nice. I didn't know what they looked like. Don't have any of those (or box )here.

[Nicos]

I didn’t know what they looked like.
They devastated my two box shrubs for several years until the plants finally died.

This little one was speeding around today

[DannyK]

Nearly trod on this. Put it on a perannial sunflower.

do… exactly how big do you think my moles are?

Spade only there for size comparison in case you are wondering
we have about 40 that size! … all now in the nursery beds

[Bren In Pots]

You must have monster sized voles Nicos

[Snoop Puss]

Are you sure that's not badgers, Nicos? If it's moles, it must be a huge tribe of them. Either that or foxes or dogs trying to dig the moles out.

[Nicos]

Definitely moles. We’ve been watching the mole hills slowly increase in size and number over the winter.
But yes, those would have been my thoughts too!

[Jay22]

Yes I’ve seen molehills that size too!
