  @Fire Yep, Large Skipper. Nice, that one's quite uncommon in gardens and I've only ever had one visit, think it was attracted by one of my geraniums! What plant is it on? Looks really familiar but I can't think of it now!

  Look at this mother!  Quite literally - she has turned my achillea in a nest for her babies.  Bit annoying, it wasn't far off flowering!

  If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

  Company with my morning coffee. Never seen a weevil like this before.

  Any hollyhocks nearby? I think that's the Hollyhock Weevil.

  This little fellow got caught in the moth trap. Usually our shield bugs are all green.  We also had a lot of caddis flies in there. This elephant hawkmoth makes a lot of butterflies look drab.
