Found this on BBC news this morning - a good season for moth immigration and a good reason to watch Autumnwatch tonight, despite Kate not being there.
As I was reading it a short feature on BBC breakfast highlighted the same story from this morning's newpapers. (The moths, rather than Kate not being on Autumnwatch).

To butterfly meadows, chalk downlands and leafy glades; to summers eternal.

Yes, I heard this report whilst on the way to work.
If moths have migrated to the southern coast of Britain in greater numbers than before, why haven't we seen a similar influx of butterflies?
