Two Spot burnet moth

Oh my, looks great, I saw one yesterday, I tried so hard to take a good picture of it, it would not stay still, I have not bothered to put it on here. :((

Wow you get so many different things down there! I lonly get red admirals and cabbage butterflies!

Only seen one red admiral so far this year :((

Amazing capture, Pimm's.

Poor Bruce getting the blame again ;)

Great Shot P....I had the most beautiful torquoised coloured flying insect in the garden today - by the time I came back with camera to get a pic it was gone.

Ah,,Scottish they are looking for the "small blue " up there in your part of the world. It is not usually a garden butterfly ...but you have that field behind your house? it is the smallest of the UK butterflies.

Just googled P....it wasn't this butterfly and certainly not something as beautiful as this. I'm going to spend a wee while on google and see if I can at least try identify. It's wings were totaly transparent and wasn't the right shape to be a dragonfly!

a Damsel fly...Your pond is attracting them already

Very similar P.....same glowing colours but different length of body. I'll keep watching and hopefully ill have more :))

Try here Scotty

Ha Ha Pimp, I wont tell you what happened one evening when we were first dating, sharing a lovely evening in the warm garden, having a night cap, when a moth flew under the parasol...
