    Lovely picture, Woo. It's almost as if the moths thought 'If we sit on that mauve vetch over there we can show ourselves off to our best advantage'. :)

    Great close-ups, everyone. :gnthb:

    Just love your Kidney Spot Ladybird, Marley, that was really a lucky find.

    Bet you thought you had woken up in Fairy Land, Woo, seeing those beautiful Cinnebar Moths all around you. Clare put it exactly right 'If we sit on that mauve vetch over there we can show ourselves off to our best advantage'. They couldn't have found a better background.

    I managed to catch this Thread-waisted Wasp in our Florida garden the other day -
