Jersey Tiger Moth

Inevitably we got the reflection of the front garden, my hand, and the inside of the dining room - like a montage!

Lovely to see. We found one or two different moths in the folds of our large outside umbrella hiding for the daytime.

It's amazing!

Thank you both 🙂.

Stunning moth.

It is Ange, thanks.

Beautiful,Sheila,I've never see one of these before..

Wow, that's so beautifully marked Sheila, not see one before either..

Thanks Sandra and Janey - new to me too. It must be tricky for him to blend with his surroundings.

A good day for wildlife … an adult wren in the garden for the first time for years, and then saw her baby (about the size of a harvest mouse). What a treat!

Fantastic capture there, Sheila! Lovely and clear too. You must've been really pleased it visited yesterday!!
I saw a moth on my rockery the other day. I thought it was a greyish leaf at first. It had a devilish looking face on its back too, eerie. I touched it softly but realised it wasn't a leaf!

Thanks Kate. It’s always interesting to have the chance of a really good look at a moth, isn’t it.

Yes, not such calm weather today … hoping the baby wren is OK!

That’s a super photo Sheila, one to keep. I’ve been lucky with butterflies lately. Lots of Red Admirals around, & Peacocks, also Holly blues & 1or2 others. Lovely to see them on the Buddleia. Last year was disappointing, hardly any.

Thanks Josee.

Isn't that just beautiful? First time I have seen or heard of these Moths. I was watering the manger baskets one evening when a rather large Moth flew out from within ... it certainly made me jump!

Thanks Shirley. Moths are always trying to hide from us … not always successfully!

Ha, ha!

A couple of nights ago there were moths and one or two dragonflies around and the bats were eating them.

That’s nature in the raw, Linda.
