This year I have got some Comma butterflies to raise. Last year I has Peacock ones and the year before I had Tortoiseshell ones. Comma butterflies are brown with with interesting shaped wings.
The caterpillars are very small at the moment so I have to use a paintbrush to move them onto the new stinging nettle leaves that they eat. The internet said that they look like bird poos as camouflage but I do no think they do look like poos yet!
