.........Brimstone moth and a seven legged spider......

..........ermine - what a beauty...

....over a few days between the showers.....

leaving the safety of the nest..........

......and danger awaits!

.....ten minutes to spare and to see what I can see........

.........a sunny day.......scales, weevils and spiders.........

Scale insect - this is what is left after the kids have left home - the  insect  acts as a safe haven for the young but it kills the parent!

A weevil but which one Im not sure - this one leaves a black ink-like goo on the leaves - good looking little chap tho.

....good looking guy.....

.......Streamer again!

These are such beautiful creatures - I find it impossible to comprehend that I have lived for so long and not  seen what lives with us. The shape and colours of this moth make it one of my favourites - well at least for now; every time I find something new it becomes my favourite!
