Not very clear, it was down the back of a bench between the bench back and the rear of the seat.

Grey Dagger Moth caterpillar. Took ages to find a reference photo, it seems they vary a lot in colour and hairiness.

Went looking for "fruit" for today's theme at Erddig but looks like they have picked everything. Saw this on the wall. Very heavy crop because I couldn't get close - the border flowerbed is quite wide and I was using a 100 mm macro.

The butterflies were out in force too. Especially the Red Admiral although I was a bit remiss about watching the exposure time. This a stupid 1/20 s

This, with ring flash, a better 1/160s with most of the light from the flash, but not posing so nicely within reach.
