Occasionally we get interesting photos (especially from Mike Ridealgh and Pam Brown) of butterflies, caterpillars and insects on the Mayfields site.  We thought putting some of these together on a page might be helpful to site users, so will add some from time to time.

Some shots from 17th August 2017 by Adam Ridgeon-Cousins.

2 photos from Mike on September 13th 2015, Speckled Wood (above) and Looper caterpillar (below).
