I try to elicit from Martin what might be a groundbreaking observation of the behaviour of an immature stage of Mimas tiliae, and all you can do, Guy, is make a silly joke!
Sorry about that, Martin.

I agree - very silly. I personally thought he'd gone to visit his flat mate

Grayling Ova

My first sighting of a grayling ova being deposited.
The female almost arches her body through 180 degress to deposit the ova which is surely unique in our butterflies.

Looks like butterfly catterpillars are kinda camera-shy!! Here's another moth!
Photographed this splendidly furry fellow on Oct 29th last year at the Blackburn Meadows Nature Reserve here in Sheffield. Using my Olympus C750 UZ on macro:-

Here is one late entry to this competition from Finland. I will continue with my last month species - so here is Apollos larva on it's food plant.
