Ladybirds

Are these little ones settling in for the winter season? I get the impression they are so going to have to relocate these flowers carefully!

The internet tells me this is a Clouded Border Moth and that they're common across Britain...

...but I've never seen one before, and it's not in either of my books of UK plants and animals.

So is it a case of "Wow! That's amazing!" or "Where've you been all these years?"

Purchase of Pulloxhill Marsh by Wildlife Trust for Beds Cambs & Northants over 99% funded (less than £1000 needed to secure its permanent protection)

Pulloxhill Marsh is a 12½ acre (5.1-hectare) ancient wetland and grassland in Pulloxhill, Bedfordshire, designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) which hosts rare plant species and a diverse array of invertebrates. Natural springs flowing into the marsh on three sides have created an unusual wetland of reed and sedge, dominated by blunt-flowered rush and marsh valerian, rare in Bedfordshire. They are seeking crowdfunding support, with the purchase of the site over 99% funded, with less than £1000 needed to secure its permanent protection by the Wildlife Trust for Beds Cambs & Northants. (I've donated).
