J Darcy 5,871 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Not bad Kay. That Burnet looks like he has been through the mill. The tired wings tell that he has been on the wing for some time. Lets hope he managed to breed I think i may try to gather a few caterpillars of this moth next summer to try and raise a few up, i got a few pots of Birds Foot Trefoil doing nothing...... Keep 'em coming..... JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JD I have never been able to get a moth to sit still long enough before to get a half decent photo , so i think your right about him being a bit buggered he was in no hurry to move lets put it that way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
