Boo!


I looked up from my deep contemplation of
swatches in the sitting room,


and saw that I was not alone.

For more fascinating lepidopterae

This was a rather tattered Jersey Tiger moth,
first noted here.

  1. Ah, that reminded me why I don't really like to look too closely at moths and butterflies - the wings are fine, but their bodies make me feel just a little bit queasy......

    But thank you anyway!

  2. He does look tattered and torn doesn't he; I have never seen the underside of a moth before.
