Scarlett Tiger Moth

can't help on the name, but its a brilliant photo

Thanks Yorks

web site is rubbish for butterflys,

Is it ? I feel sure someone on here will know.

I took a look to see if we could find out what it is, as you say, someone will know,

Excellent photo!!!

Yes I wanted to get the red under the wings but it wouldnt hang around long enough

They always fly off on me - and I end up chasing them lol

wow
dont get these in my garden, beautiful

This is amazing Cinders will ask OH when he gets up if he knows (hit the sack) great photo.

Thanks DD

Cinders it is a Scarlet Tiger Moth usually found in Fens and along river banks, feeds on shrubs and herbaceous plants!!told you OH would know lol

Wow Dotty, you are great, now Cinders knows what it is, well done,

Brilliant photo ... very attractive Tiger Moth.

Thanks Dotty's OH. I have a little river behind my bottom fence, so thats where it came from I expect. It didnt hang around in my garden, it was very pretty.

Thanks Shirley, it was fortunate I had my camera in my hand, had to take it quickly so no time to set up anything. Pure luck.

Peter says your welcome Cinders.....

Thank you Peter.

What a beauty,Cinders..glad someone knew the name for you..a knowledgeable lot on here..:o)
