The beauty in the everyday....

Slightly blurry shot of this woodland inhabitant, I wonder what happened to whatever had been nibbling it?

Looks like a blackberry nestling in the centre.

I don't think the photo does it justice, but a spider's web in a gate. (Not beautiful if you're a fly of course, but probably a more pleasant way to go than being ingested into the air intake of a passing cyclist) .

Well spotted - it's what caught my attention

I saw this beautiful moth today. I don't know the name of it, but when it was airborne it was a striking orange colour.

Have had one of these in our garden recently - Devon. Rather lovely....

About​

The jersey tiger moth can be found in gardens and by the coast, for instance near beaches and coastal cliffs. The caterpillars feed mainly on ground ivy, white dead-nettle, branmble and common nettle. These moths fly in both day and night.

Distribution​

Mainly found in the south of England, particularly in Devon and Dorset. They have also been recorded in Sussex, Kent, the Isle of Wight and around London.

Conservation status​

Scarce but numbers are increasing in Britain.

Beautiful in its own way; doing something horrid to a dead fly.

I'm glad it was the other side of the double glazing!

Good rat catchers.
