2017: one photo each day. 213/365 A Jersey Tiger Moth ~ Euplagia quadripunctaria. {ID Given}.
1st August 2017:
Holy cow bells, what did I get?
As the weather was gorgeous I was out as soon as possible. I decided to go on one of my favourite walks and was so glad I did.
I found this Moth, on the top of some Begonias in a pot on a gatepost.
Sadly it was a bit too high up and however hard I tried I couldn't get a photo from above.
I do hope someone can tell me what it is. I've added a second photo in comments to help get an ID.
I saw what I think was a Swallowtail Butterfly the other day right in front of my nose and missed getting a photo - doh!
It's also definitely another first for me, yippee.
