Dear Mike,

The butterfly (image 01) is a Red Admiral; the moth (image 02) is a Jersey Tiger, both on Buddleia davidii. Although the Red Admiral is quite common, and the Jersey Tiger moth perhaps less common, it would be useful to submit a record for each of them to the Guernsey Biological Record Centre,  www.biologicalrecordscentre.gov.gg/files/submitrecord.html

Best wishes,

Alan Ritchie

I saw 4 Red Admirals near our pond at the bottom of the garden this morning.  I was in a hurry at the time so couldn't look to see if there were any more.... there probably were as the 4 I saw were all in one area.  You notice butterflies these days, if and when you are lucky enough to see them, as they seem quite rare in comparison to how numerous they used to be.  

Best wishes,

Rosie

Bless You Rosie,
WILDFLOWER GARDENS/  MEADOWS, they are our easiest / best way forwards, I was at an international conference on the bird call  Swifts, and the opening statement from the main delegate, was
     "WILD FLOWER GARDENS" are THE saviour of the whole food chain for us all.

You do not have to have an untidy garden, beautiful flowers like COSMOS last all late summer, and they attract birds, butterflies, and bees.
A roadside flower bed of Lavender on the corner by the Peninsula  had 100 Bumble Bees, spectacular!
be adventurous, you never know how much enjoyment you can have, if you don't try,
Bless you,
Vic.

No, but I suggest you increase your insurance in case it eats your car ! ;-)

My wife found out that it is a ladybird larva by googling “spiky black beetle with yellow bits”! :-D
