  What fantastic photos @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool these insects just don't look real, I have never seen a ladybird with that type of marking before, and luckily I am not afraid of spiders, that one would be enough to give someone who is nightmares.

  Guernsey Donkey, I think the caterpillar is a Lackey Moth.

  Great shots, @Alan Clark2 in Liverpool I think your ladybug is one of the many disguises of the Harmonia axyridis, aka Asian ladybeetle.

  @Orchidia maybe your Peacock butterfly is not very colourful because it's a very battered specimen.

  Just found and ID'd a Knot grass moth caterpillar munching away on the flowers of one of my pincushion scabious.
