More moths and butterflies

These Cinnabar Moth caterpillars were spotted feeding on Oxford Ragwort plants this week on Granta Park

and Andy M saw this tiny Mint Moth (Pyrusta aurata) in his garden today - the wingspan being only about 1 cm (1/2 inch) across.

and a number of Gatekeeper butterflies have been seen in the village this week - in many ways similar to the Meadow Brown, but the Gatekeeper tends to rest with its wings open, and has two white dots within each dark 'eyespot' on the upper forewing, where the Meadow Brown has only a single white dot.
