5th September 2023 - whilst doing a spot of gardening, Polly M disturbed this rather beautiful Jersey Tiger Moth. Being a little annoyed about being disturbed, it showed the bright orange pattern on its underwings, which are a warning to would-be-predators. Once it calmed down, it hid the underwings again, to just show the more camouflaged black and white patterning.
