Fun Death's Head moth fact: If you look closely at the one on the Silence of the Lambs poster, the 'skull' is actually made up of naked ladies. They superimposed a Salvador Dali portrait over the top of it.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Rain stopped play last night but since we really needed some rain I won't complain... much. It made a nice alien landscape for this alien-looking leafhopper though.
I also saw this Beautiful Demoiselle down by the river yesterday.

Splendid pics of your leaf-hopper and "demoiselle" (as always) @wild edges !
Upon coming back from a walk in the countryside, taking off my shoes, spotted a "ladybird-like" insect on the floor of the house.
Closer inspection revealed it to be not a ladybird but a Poplar leaf beetle (Chrysomela populi). Took it outside and re-sited it on my Erica carnea for a nicer background for the photos! And I was lucky to take the final shot just as it was getting ready for its flight.
