            I'm looking forward to this thread. I would appreciate it if some pictures of common butterflies could be posted, as I usually have a few in my garden but no idea of their names, which is rather embarrassing as my mother was a biologist!

                    I didn't expect to see a Painted Lady in the garden until late summer but one came today.

                                Could it be a Eyed Hawkmoth?

                                It does look like it has any wings
