Painted Lady

First of these I've seen this year. Very light in colour.

Yes. It looks old. I thing the younger ones will have brighter colours. Haven't seen any yet myself

Here's a picture of the male Painted Lady underwing.

Very pretty butterfly

That IS a nice creature, although I bet it's a bit grumpy - I don't know many men who would relish being called 'Panted Ladies'

Oh you'd be surprised, we've learned to have selective responses to a wide range of situations. The grumpiness is our normal state and we know it can only get better from there

Aah, so you don't have to be old to be a grumpy man then? - explains a lot
