   Jody Wells sends a photograph of an Autographa californica nectaring on Buddleia.  He has caught the essence of this moth – that’s exactly what it looks like when you see it outside.

  There probably won’t be very more butterflies around this year, so please report any that you see.  Who knows? –  You may at last achieve fame by being the person who reports the last Cabbage White of the year!
