    @Fairygirl I had a go at using an ID website and closest match seemed to be White Ermine Moth

    I found this interesting fellow in the garden today, my bug book says it is Agapanthia villosoviridescens:

    I don't think it's supposed to be up here, maybe I bought it with a plant.
    Wearside, England.

    What a beautiful picture @GaryR , so clear and precise.  Is that a type of Scabiosa flower?

    Guernsey Donkey2

    Thank you. Yes, it's a scabiosa of some sort but they never seem to last very long in my garden which is a shame. It seems like poppies, foxgloves and scabiosa don't like my garden conditions.

    Yes - but he's lovely, BNora  :)
    They're stunning, Helix. Never seen one, but perhaps we don't get them here. Must research that.
    This was tootling around on the summit of the little hill I was on yesterday. Not sure what he is, so I must have a look at the ID site to find out.


    Found a pic of an Antler moth, and taken in the west of Scotland as mine was, which looks very similar, so might be that.
