You won't have any difficulty finding stinging nettles. They are now in flower.
The flowers are in long catkins, looking a bit like millet sprays
Stinging nettles are not popular with humans but enjoyed by over 40 insect species including several moth caterpillars. They are also larval foodplants for three or four of our most colourful butterflies: small tortoiseshell, red admiral, peacock and comma.
