I found this one when cleaning out a nest box today and managed to get a photograph while perched precariously up a ladder trying to manipulate torch and camera to get some focus on it. I had it down as a comma to start off with, but I'm now pretty sure it's a peacock with a bite out of its wing - any confirmation?
Whatever, I hope it wakes up before the wasp hibernating in the same box!
Hibernator in nest box
Re: Hibernator in nest box
Certainly looks like a Peacock, Part Timer. As you say, it looks to have lost a little of its forewing.
Hope it survives the winter.
