The main attraction

seems to be the purple knapweed.

If only I'd been a little quicker getting down the steep bank with my camera I might have captured the 2 other moths and 3 butterflies that had all congregated on this one flower.

The red spot moth is Burnet, not sure about the other one with paler spots.

@ziggy77 it must be the time of year for spotty moths :-)

These are both six spot burnet moths, the paler one one is just faded.
