[DrFilth]

[askyourgran]

They are lovely I haven't seen one like that before.

[gness]

If you think about it...the heavy rain must knock the stuffing out of them...x

[DrFilth]

from the size of them they must have just had a nibble on the pork ;-)

I'm probably wrong here, but I thought the difference between moths and butterflies was the time of day. During the day butterfly. In the night moths. Please put me right on this.

[DrFilth]

the photo was taken before dinner so it was probably having a sleep on the grass when my big boots woke it up
