This is a small magpie moth. I have been taking pictures of insects for ages but didn’t always find the time to name them. Now have found a bit of time to go back through and find old pics to try and identify them. This one is from 2015.

There was a rather lovely Angle Shade moth in the garden this morning, just trying to get some sun on the steps. Luckily I managed to save it from my dog – which really is the only reason I spotted it, but definitely saved it from the playful inquisitive hungry nature of a one year old Labrador. I always feel lucky to be surrounded by nature, but when something this special starts the day I feel extra lucky. Now the warm weather has started there shall be lots more wildlife in the garden to come hopefully…
