Ghost in the garden


Ghost moth, Abbey Meadows


Silver ground carpet, Abbey mill


Cardinal beetle, Abbey mill



Another mystery caterpillar



Cocks foot grass, Widdrington tip

Just a few local shots over the last couple of days except for the caterpillar which was taken last week in Scotland. Nice to have a Ghost moth on the garden bench which stayed there all day. I can identify most caterpillars but some I just can't put names to. Cocks foot grass is probably the commonest and most familiar grasses in the UK but at this time of year I think they look nice.

Thanks Emma, they may be common but close up they are beautiful.

That ghost moth is so wonderfully hairy and plush looking! All great photos in this post.
