Cinnabar Moths

That's the fella. Big fan of those.

Have I just stumbled onto the Country File website by mistake

Lucky enough to have seen the elusive Camberwell Beauty and slightly more common Swallowtail butterflies in these parts.

Also a Montagu's Harrier which is quite unusual, at first glance looks like an aggresive pigeon but on closer inspection is a decent raptor. Marsh harriers are my favourite.

Bit of a Kate Humble moment....

Blimey! Looks like it should be in the AMAZON or something!

 

[Lady Whistledown]

At risk of upsetting the mothophiles on here, any of the furry buggers that finds itself flapping pointlessly around the light bulbs in my place is liable to a rapid and mortal encounter with a rolled up copy of the Argus. No matter how pretty its wings.

I am not a moth fan. Might be to do with Silence of the Lambs.

Red n black = "don't eat me, i'm poisonous" best camouflage in the world !!!

Good point jevs, ladybirds are poisonous to many birds...as are those caterpillars that plagued the South of England a few years ago and caused a rash to pretty much anyone who touched them.
