They’re late this year compared to previous years, the Dingy skippers. I only saw my first on Wednesday 8 May whereas last year my first sighting was on 1 May; in 2022 it was 25 April; in 2021 23 April; in 2020 6 May and in 2019 my first Dingy was on 30 April. It just shows what a difference the climate makes: our cool wet spring weather seems to have had quite an impact on the emergence of many insects but this week has been warm and sunny, encouraging many mini-beasties to appear.
