Polly Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Any ideas what these lovely day-flying moths might be? Liz? Their under-wings are a very vivid pink, awesome! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 That moth is a Cinnabar. They are sometimes confused with the seven types of Burnet. Actually they are not alike except that they are the same colour. I have a large Hebe in the garden, this morning there must have been a dozen Painted Ladies mixed with a couple of Tortoishells, not seen ant Painted Ladies for a couple of seasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
