    I think it is a red underwing moth,  Catocala nupta.

    Spotted this fizzy creature on the wheelie bin. Didn't think it quite a home so it's now been relocated.

    Actually today I've found no end of caterpillars. Non quite as striking though.

    Lucky you zenjeff - Painted Lady. Haven't seen one here for years - they're in a bit of a decline from what I understand.

    My resident spider on the front window was clinging on to his web yesterday. Haven't seen him this morning after the wind and rain last night. Hope he's ok. Front is slightly more sheltered from rough weather than the back so perhaps he's found a little nook to hide in  image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I thought I'd share with you a visitor I had in the garden the other morning.  Not one I'd have expected to see!  You can imagine my delight.
