Was down in Devon last weekend, and saw lots of different kinds. I noticed them more because we hardly see any in London any more. | |

I've seen a few in the garden this year, including a couple of red admirals. I've also seen lots of huge moths. | |

Maybe Milton Keynes as well. Pollution, perhaps. Almost no sightings of dragon- or damsel-flies round my pond this year and normally there are lots. Just a few nymphs taking flight this year.
Thanks to all those who replied. I am relieved to hear there are good numbers out there elsewhere, my heart is lighter. Adrift, becalmed on a jewelled sea. | |

For the last two years there have been lots of butterflies and hardly any wasps. This year its back to the other way round. "Absinthe is the aphrodisiac of the self. The green fairy who lives in the Absinthe wants your soul." ~Dracula by Bram Stoker | |
