This large green moth rests with its wings spread, so is sometimes mistaken for a butterfly.

The large white is a common garden visitor - look out for its brilliant white wings, tipped with black.

Despite its name, the large blue is a fairly small butterfly, but the largest of our blues. It was declared extinct in 1979, but reintroduced in the 1980s and now survives in southern England.

As its name suggests, the large skipper is bigger than the similar-looking small skipper! It can be seen in summer, resting on the long grass of grasslands, woodlands, verges and sand dunes.
