Yes.
They only fly between March and May

Thank you so much for your comment Mary Ann

These are Butterflies .
Butterflies have little baubles on the tips of their antennae and Moths are just smooth antennae
(Having said that there are one or two exceptions )

[Chocky]

Yes Jeanne
England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland
