A Butterfly and a Moth

This Small Tortoishell was feeding on the last of the Telekia flowers yesterday afternoon. It was joined for a time by a Wall Brown – the first we have seen for several years, but it didn't hang around for the camera...

I disturbed the strikingly black-and-white-and-yellow Magpie Moth near the greenhouse on Sunday and managed a photo before it flew back into cover. The caterpillars feed on currant and gooseberry bushes.
