Scarlet Tiger Moth resting on the shed. Don't remember seeing one before.

That’s beautiful. I’ve never seen one.
RE: Scarlet Tiger Moth - JJB - 25-06-2021
Splendid. Never seen one either.
RE: Scarlet Tiger Moth - Veggie - 25-06-2021
The moth was still on the shed this evening. It had moved around a bit but same area.
Wonder if it'll be there tomorrow?
Good night Scarlet Tiger Moth, sleep tight.

Never seen one of them before, most moths we see here are just plain old brown ones

I'm another who's never seen one.

They are lovely delicate little things. I like them .
RE: Scarlet Tiger Moth - Veggie - 26-06-2021
I thought it was a couple of feathers drifting down, until it landed on a daisy and sat there waiting for me to admire it.
I have seen them before so not a total surprise
Apparently the caterpillars feed on bindweed. This could be a good reason for not pulling it up..............or maybe not!!

The Scarlet Tiger Moth has returned and is sitting on a montbretia leaf. Shame really as I wanted to pull them up but don't want to disturb him.
No photo but it looks just the same as the one I saw last year in #1.
