Butterfliesand moths

One of the advantages of having a conservatory is that you see a great variety of insects who fly in during hot weather and get trapped.  Unfortunately a lot of them die before we can rescue them.  But we do get a chance to look at them close-to.

So for example you can see the club-ended antennae of this small white butterfly

and we can clearly see why this little bundle of moth is called the Silver-Y 
from the mark on its underwing.
