A pair of moths sitting on the concrete path by the runner beans, they live and breed in gardens, ditches and fields in the south west of England during May and June; have sent the photo to the Dorset moth team for verification and inclusion on their database. Lucky not to tread on them, didn’t disturb them to get a better view of the scarlet underwings where they have different pattern variations, some with yellow patches at the edges. Moved hurdles to allow the donkeys and sheep to use different parts of the same paddock. A very wet day with light winds, lit the woodburner.
