That looks like our one we've got living in front of the kitchen door. It gets absolutely stuffed on moth trap nights, usually 2 or 3 biggies get caught. Not sure it'd like to be moved to the garden though, likes it's nice dry comfy spot! LOL

Probably was a pretty cross spider H! Lol

It must have been a good year for Red Admirals. I'm still seeing them in the garden enjoying the last of the nectar in the Autumn sunshine.

We are having a lovely spell of warm sunny weather & it's kept a lot of the butterflies going, we had a walk around the lanes behind the house yesterday & spotted these, Long-tailed Blue (Pea-blue)
a worn Copper
a Geranium blue
Common blue
Speckled woods
plus Clouded Yellows, Peacocks & Red Admirals & Small Whites,
There also a lot of dragons still about with one of my favourites, at least 4 Red-veined darters,
Also a Common darter (I think)
also 2 Southern Hawkers, managed to get an ID from the photo but not a good shot!
A darn-sight prettier than my Spider H! Turned chilly here!
Very nice Hazel.
Programme about Butterflies on BBC 4 tonight at 00h15 to 01h15. Bit late for me so i'm recording it!
Thanks H, just watched a couple of clips from it on my tablet. ... See that it's on iplayer too shortly after the broadcast!
Having a reasonably mild spell here, albeit misty & damp but never expected to see this 12mm creature today ... wonder what sustenance it gained from bird suet ball?
There had to be a vid!! Lol
